What is the best knitting magazine?

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?

1. Honestly depends what you are beginner, moderate, expert. But try checking out Barnes and Noble the have books and magazines for all.
2. Knit 1 has young and funky designs. Knit simple has clear instructions and easy patterns Interweave knits has beautiful designs, but somewhat more difficult. Knitters has really good articles on techniques. Vogue knitting has some very easy patterns, and some really complicated ones. the only problem with it is that often the designs are so cutting edge that you might not have the courage to wear them. but it is a very beautiful magazine to look at. Family Circle has a lovely knitwear magazine that is very versatile, and has knitting for the home and for kids as well as for women. on line mags are great too, check out magknits.com and knitty.com for free patterns.
3. There are a lot of great magazines out there. I like Interweave Knit and sometime Knit One has some good patterns too, Vogue is always beautiful of course. I agree that it is a matter of personal choice. I like some because they are beautiful to look at and inspire me to come up with new ideas of my own and others for their practical patterns that are easy to use right away. In the end though, I most often end up knitting out of the same books over and over or using patterns I find online. Glance through and see if there's anything you'd actually make in them before you buy them though. I once received a subscription as a gift and after an entire year of it, there was not one thing in them I ever wanted to make. Many magazines show their current projects online so that you can get an idea of what you're going to find in the magazine. Here's a list of some links for you to check out and find your personal style. Good luck...now I want new magazines too. http://www.interweaveknits.com/ http://www.knit1mag.com/ http://www.knitsimplemag.com/ http://www.knittinguniverse.com/flash/knitters.php http://www.creativeknittingmagazine.com/ http://www.vogueknitting.com/vkm/ http://www.knitnstyle.com/ http://www.knitnet.com/ online magazine http://www.simplyknitting.co.uk/ http://www.magknits.com/
