Hello, I'd like to register a complaint - Vol. 2

Dear editors of Interweave Knits,

I just received your latest issue, Summer '09, and with my normal eagerness started to leaf through the pages immediately. To my huge disappointment there was not a single pattern which caught my fancy - not a single one! And come to think of it, there hasn't been that many in your previous issues either..

I started to subscribe in 2006, and was very happy with your magazine for a couple of years - interesting, challenging patterns which always inspired me to do my best and teach myself something new. But now..... the buzz just isn't there anymore. To be honest, most of the patterns are dull and boring - and don't even look like ones that a self-respecting knitter would wear in public. It seems that you have chosen the middle part of the road - the most safe and simple way to go.

Sorry to sound harsh, but I think I'm not the only one thinking these thoughts - since I've been reading and hearing about complaints also elsewhere in the knitting community. I've continued my subscription for 1 more year - it might be the last.

Yours complainingly,

-N-

Viime nummero oli musta hyvä, ostin irtonumerona, mutta oli siinäki se yks ihan käsittämätön neule - pätkärääkätty lilakirjava kokovartalosukka, jossa oli jotain ihme ruusuja kauluksena. Puistatus. Ei tod. IK:n totuttua linjaa. Mulla kävi niin, että olin vasta harkittemassa tilausta ku niitten linja alko vakaasti huonontua - en sitte tilannu.
