NOTE: ALL COVER IMAGES THIS PAGE ARE PROPERTY OF
PUBLISHER, but are scanned from my private collection.

SUMMARY: I have only a double handful of this run of magazines. I'm starting the catalog of them in hopes someone will take pity and help fill in some of the missing issues. It feels a lot like "Workbasket" and "Annie's Pattern Club" to me - both titles I love. They went to a full-size magazine rather than the pocket digest some time in the early '90's. They're main needleart focus was knitting, but there is a scattering of other needlearts, as well as other craft projects. I haven't seen any issues more recent than 1997 yet. The patterns they published were very high quality and hold up well over time, though the later years there were more and more "Quick and Easy" crafts. I believe this is one of those series it is well worth your while to pursue a collection if you are a knitter.

A few extra notes- their Table of Contents for each issue was more of a guideline than a rule on what was actually in the issue, and they never gave you the designer's names there. You had to search through each article like an Easter egg hunt to find who the designer was - it was presented in a half dozen different ways with no consistency whatsoever. The way I catalog issues is to fill in what I can from the Table of Contents(if there is one), then go through each issue page by page and fill in whatever information is missing. The catalogs are accurate to the best of my ability.

Anyone with more information about this publication, or has issues to donate or sell, can contact me through My Contact Page.
