I’d like to buy a subscription to a knitting magazine for my friend, but I have no idea which ones are good. I don’t knit and have never even seen one. If you were to get a subscription, which would you choose? Thanks!
She likes to knit stuff for children, hats, gloves, scarves, ponchos and blankets. I don’t think she is into any super technical stuff. She knits more traditional.

I’ve heard of knit vogue and knit scene. I like knit scene best so far because it has nice patterns in it. What’s the best (your favorite) knitting magazine in your opinion?

I knit for my papillon and I wanted to be sent a knitting magazine or newsletter to get some cool patterns. They don’t even have to be dog patterns either( since I have a big family who would like to get knitted things as well) I love getting things in the mail that some people would classify as “junk mail”. its just so exciting! :D I already get emails, and I have searched endlessly on google, and I have signed up for the lion brand yarn magazine.
