Interweave Crochet

Interweave CrochetI subscribe to Crochet! Magazine and this Interweave crochet publication is another of my favorite crochet magazines. It has the "quick & simple" project, but also lovely and imaginative patterns--check it out at your local bookstore or go their website: to get info and check out their free pattterns. Many of the patterns are of the vintage patterns modernized vein. I highly recommend this magazine for yourself or as a gift for that special person that loves crochet.

I am young and rather picky, but I can always find something to please my eye and needle wtih this magazine. The clothing patterns don't look hideous and boxy. I think that Interweave does a good job with it's offerings. I also like "Crochet Today!" by Future Publications. I think that between the both of them I always have more that I want to do than I have time for. IC is a magazine with a focus on patterns with a classic, but trendy and modern appeal. CT! is a fun look at the possibilities of crochet (such as, amigurumi)and an updated twist on older patterns with modern appeal. The two together give me so much to do that I never complete it all, but I love to look. CT! has more small scale projects and IC has a larger selection of non-craft items.

I recommend this magazine 100%. Also the knitting version. I also advise that this product is better to subscribe going directly through their web site, you'll get a better price offer, and even though this is on special with Amazon (30% off today when I'm writing this review), when I subscribed in the web site, I got my first issue in about three weeks after subscribing.

Over the past four to five years, I have spent several hundred dollars in publications, video downloads, eMags, etc. pertaining to my craft of the moment. I picked up spinning in the past two years and taught myself how to spin from Interweave's vast online resources. All in all, I am now able to spin with very good consistency, 3 ply sock yarn or 3 ply lace, on up to worsted weight using several drafting methods. I also am adept at plying, carding, combing and dying wool, alpaca, and cotton. All this from the information I obtained from Interweave and the virtual Judith Mackenzie, who has been at my side whether she knows it or not. I will not give Interweave a higher score because of an issue that I ran into this morning, which has happened several times before: Bait and switch price marketing.

Numerous time I have found coupon codes that will give a discount during the checkout process only to mysteriously disappear before the bill in finalized. I've been offered $1 off on third party issues of Colorways eMags, through iTunes, only to be charged the full price by iTunes. And once again this morning I received a VIP Early Pass to receive 70% overstock items before everyone else since I am 'such a good customer.' The item is advertised in the email at $8.98. It shows up in the shopping cart as $20.98 even after I log into my account and go to PayPal. And I've been down the road of completing the purchase and it 'supposedly' sorts itself out in the end. It does not. You have to call to sort it out if you want you discount. Even then, they make it sound as if I have done something wrong. I warned customer service the last time that this happened that I would write a scathing review it it happened again, so here it is.

Cheating is stealing and I don't appreciate it. I challenge Interweave to fix this problem and make it right.

The New Republic (1-year auto-renewal)

The New RepublicA must for a political junkie. I need a balanced opinion from each side of the argument. I also subscibe to the National Review.

The New Republic is a weekly magazine that has well-written, well-researched articles.

And the "regulars" are looked forward every week.

Stanley Kauffmann is still reviewing films as he has for more than 50 years. His insights

and perspective are always most interesting.

Leon Wieseltier's "Washington Diartist" is a gem...every time. His one-page articles

provoke thought and discussion, partly because he is such a wonderful writer.

Gq - Italian Edition

Gq - Italian EditionI am absolutely addicted to this magazine. It is great for practicing your reading comprehension and, as an added benefit, provides a good exposure to the current events/fashion/culture etc in Italy.

The only bad thing about this subscription is its price. Luckily, I live in New York and can pick up a copy at Barnes&Noble for less than $10. It's about $40 off the annual subscription... It is simply doesn't make sense for me to subscribe, but I would if I didn't have access to the store.

I subscibed to this magazine for a year and I enjoyed it a lot. I have some difficulty reading and understanding the articles but needed to learn. I didn't keep the subscription though because it went higher. I reccommend if you can afford the import premiums.

Religious Life

Religious LifeI have no idea what the heck you are talking about. I haven't ordered anything from you in a year. Ok so you rejected this the first time I told you because I didn't do it in enough words. So this time I am putting more words in here to help you understand that I have no idea what you are talking about. If anyone ordered anything here then it wasn't me. So now, is this enough words to satisfy the dumb computer program you are using to count words and to reject reviews that don't have enough words? I mean I can go on here for an hour or so. Hey I am tired as it is late but I am not really tired enough to go to bed yet. So once I get enough words on here (oops, almost made a spelling error) then I will probably check to see if I have any other email and then watch some tv.

OK? Thanks now and you all have a good day :)

The magazine, Religious Life, is a timely and faithful Catholic publication that focuses on all aspects of the consecrated life, especially highlighting communities that are members of the Institue on Religious Life (IRL), which was founded in 1974 by the Servant of God, John A. Hardon, S.J.

Golfweek

GolfweekWhy should you get this magazine? If you are lacking in news regarding ALL of the tours (literally): PGA, LPGA, Senior, European, Asian tours, Buy.com and the mini circuits they cover every tour event every week.

If you want rankings of every player worldwide, the money list and the weekly top finishers of every professional golf event from the televised tour events to the Greater Podunk Open with a top prize of $1,500 dollars, it's listed here. This is the only place that covers the college golf season in great detail.

While it's technically not a trade magazine, they cover new equipment announcements in a trade magazine manner cost, distribution and advertising plans.

If you combined "Fortune" with "The Sporting News" that's basically GolfWeek. They basically approach it as "the business of golf."

Which might sound like faint praise but it is actually a high compliment they approach everything with a objective distance even when they are doing feature stories on golfers. They are sometimes harsh but always honest & fair. While some golf writers dance around an issue of a Sunday collapse, they are honest and forthright enough to address the issue without getting personal or vindictive. This is not the magazine on trying to knock 2 strokes off your game, that's what the other magazines are for.

Just like "Fortune" for golf, it's on the business of golf: the people, the tours, the equipment and what's going on. It is a lot of info, news, analyses and statistics. It's not for everyone but if you or the intended reader is someone who tries to figure out on Thursday which channel has opening round coverage or watches the Golf Channel regularly, this is one of the best magazines in America right now, not just on golf (and I read about 85 magazines a month). Get it. It's great. (you can also check out their website to get an idea of the excellent writing but amazon.com is a much more inexpensive subscription).

I know many people who are confirmed addicts to the game of golf and one publication they like to read is Golfweek. This magazine is the only golf publication I know about that is issued with this level of frequency, making it an ideal choice for those who can't seem to get enough golf.

Since this magazine is published every week, some of the information contained within might seem a little bit boring to certain readers. There isn't always enough going on in the world of golf to fill a magazine from one week to the next. But the editors of Golfweek manage to find enough to complete each issue. They do so by stressing any news, minor or major, about golf and by including recent scores and worldwide rankings of golfing professionals and even of college golf teams.

Golfweek doesn't dedicate as much space as other golf magazines to the area of learning, and this could disappoint some readers who want to learn some new tips. Statistics, scores, and breaking news seem to be foremost in importance with this magazine. This is nice, but I would like to see a little more advice from the pros on how to reduce my handicap and improve my golfing game.

Golfweek is still a good publication for those who are fanatical about the game of golf. It doesn't offer many personal stories about the different personalities of golf and it doesn't offer many learning tips. But those who are addicted to golf will love it nonetheless. It brings the world of golf to your mailbox every week, with updates on scores, tournaments, and news.
