Pat Gould
Voorhees NJ

“I treasure the magazine—my copies show the wear and tear of my handling them over and over (even your advertisements are colorful and informative.) I have improved my knitting skills by making many patterns you publish that are irresistible, and I have been inspired to depart from old knitting habits by the creativity of your knitters.”
Elizabeth Johnston
Westmood MA

“I appreciate that you not only have wonderful clothing projects but include other fun items like purses, and rugs, and such. You are all very clever and it’s so much fun to see your magazine arrive each time. I set aside a little quiet time for a cup of coffee and a good romp through the current issue.”
Kay Young
