Not Vogue…
Not Interweave…..
What knitting magazine has arrived in my mailbox?
VERENA!!
Not quite as chock-a-block with desirable patterns as the last issue, but still more than acceptable, and here, in my hands, ready for me to peruse the pages and dream of sweaters future!
I saw the Vogue at Yarn Central nearly two weeks ago! Aargh!!!
I stalk the post office like a lion stalking her prey. But no Vogue Knitting arrives. I think this happened last year as well. I vaguely recall that I left NYS&W Saturday and went out in search of a Vogue Knitting because I had seen one previously, wanted it badly, and wanted to refer to something. In my Rhinebeck driven yarn and pattern lust I just could wait no longer. I see a repeat of last year’s scenario in the making.
Why I oh why does the magazine ship copies to the stores before they ship copies to their subscribers? What cruelty.
The new Interweave is also up, but I have only looked cursorily, as I do not want to get sucked into another morass of pattern-book-lust and desire. And what drives this passion, this need for more patterns when I have more than enough to keep a village of knitters happily knitting away for a lifetime or two. It is the magic of dreams of course, the dream of knitting, the dream of wearing, the dream of being someone else in some fantasy life not fully realized. Dreams are worth hanging on to, and the cost of magazines are a small enough price to pay.
But only if they come!

No Vouge here either! Could it be that my subscription ran out? Heavens, no. Although, as you said, we own enough patterns already. But it is a very inexpensive dream.
