It struck me as the latest in a long line of books aimed at giving people
permission to experiment with their knitting. Personally, I gave myself that permission about 30 years ago! | On Fri, 11 Jul 2003 13:17:43 GMT, "SlinkyToy" wrote: I haven't laid hands on a copy, but several folks who have tell me it is uncharacteristically simple for AZ.

I find that typical of most magazines policies. Most of the magazines I read now I buy when I want them. I still subscribe some of the younger members in our family and friend's circles to Owl and Chickadee and Chirp magazines. These are Canandian publications, although the publisher is now French. I wouldn't mind all the extra notices, if I didn't miss issues in my subscriptions! That seems to happen more and more often lately. The bad thing about single issues is that you can't always get the ones you want. So true!

I always return these requests with a note to tell them I will renew until one month ahead of the due date, but not a half a year ahead of time. In the end, "I get the feeling" that you renew sooner and sooner and end up paying a whole year extra. I also know that most magazines are hanging in there by the skin of their teeths. many little publicatons loose this battle. I still do not think that i have to renew that far ahead of time. See Helen.....I certainly have a bone to pick here, you got me started....LOL I agree with you, Els. I have renewed subscriptions well in advance, only to have the magazine close down and I lost my money. I also live on a budget, and really can't afford to do this. My local newsagent has finally been ablt to get one of the magazines I want, but so far, no FCEK. So I get that one when I am in Halifax, or ask my DIL to get it for me. For me, it is cheaper to buy some of them on the newsstand than to subscribe to them. The bad thing about single issues is that you can't always get the ones you want. Yes! I hate it when that happens! Katherine |

I agree, but there are probably a lot of people like me out there who
aren't particularly daring or self-confident, and need guidelines on how to experiment...just as some people really need to follow recipes for years before they grasp what can and can't be experimented with for cooking. I've taken what I considered daring steps in knitting, and most have worked out, but they're pretty wimpy compared to, say, yours or Slinky's or Mirjam's!

I think if I didn't already have so many knitting books in that genre, I
might be tempted, but I have such a big collection that I'm very hard to tempt these days, especially at new book prices. | On Sun, 13 Jul 2003 11:12:37 -0400, spampot wrote: I agree, but there are probably a lot of people like me out there who aren't particularly daring or self-confident, and need guidelines on how to experiment...just as some people really need to follow recipes for years before they grasp what can and can't be experimented with for cooking.
