Advantages: Great variety of patterns

Disadvantages: Not able to accommodate all sizes

Simply Knitting is a brillaint magazine for those who have been knitting for years and for those who are just beginning. I finally subscribed to this as it became so popular I was at risk of missing out every month! Great pictures of the designs, very clear instructions for you follow. The monthly stitch library is also helpful and encourages you to try things you might not have done in the past. They also provide you with some options for yarns and talks about how to do things cheaper or differently. The "One Ball Pattern" feature is great fun. The designs are modern and they cover all ages and styles in the magazine. The main fault would be that some patterns are not sized big enough for the larger sizes and this has meant some patterns I couldn't make for friends as they are not easy to transfer however I understand they are doing their best to manage this going forward. Given the price of individual patterns or pattern books, this is great value for money considering how many patterns there are a month!

Summary: Good value, clear instructuions
