Anna : Burda Knitting & Needlecrafts - English Ed
Knitters take note:I purchased what was titled as "Anna:Burda Knitting & Needlecrafts-English Ed".What arrived was "Anna Needlework and Crafts," which contains very little knitting.
Anna Needlework magazine
I've collected this magazine for many years. the content is excellant with many projects for many different levels of experience. I also liked seeing how women of Europe and the U.K. decorate their homes during the different seasons and holidays. Anna magazine is deliteful for both the seasoned needlewoman or the absolute beginer. It is just so much fun.

A must have
Absolutely wonderful magazine. I count the days until every new issue. It offes beautiful patterns for a variety of needlework styles. In every issue it always has knitting section, a couse that introduces you to a new type of needlework (or refreshes you in one that you already tried), a monthly picture in cross stitch (a sampler type, this year it is "the trades").

Challenging
The magazine is filled with yummy patterns for beautiful pieces. The instructions are very easy to follow.

Bead up on the latest
Beadwork magazine as with most magazines on a particular skill or art gives you every thing you expect. Magazines can not replace books for in-depth and specialties skills that are targeted by a particular beader. However they are broader and more contemporary. There are projects for novice and expert alike using traditional materials and the latest in bead technology.
Beadwork magazine
This magazine is good but only average to people who want to use the projects most of the projects are very out there so if that's your thing you will love it.For the average beader it is NOT worth the cover price.

Quality how-to and inspiration

Cloth Paper Scissors THE BETST
Cloth Paper Scissors is without a doubt the BEST magazine out there for mixed media artists.The magazine articles are beautifully done; lots of "how-to's"; easy to understand directions and dynamite photos.

Great Mag, But The Price Here Is Ridiculous
My wife loves this magazine, so I thought I'd buy her a subscription for her birthday.The price here at Amazon (as of May 17, 2005) is nearly 60% above the subscription price offered on the pull-out cards in the magazine.

Make that 3 and a half stars
As a library administrator I get to see and read an awful lot of woodworking books and magazines. American Woodworker was one of the first two woodworking magazines I read as a beginner (Wood was the other).Its now 11 years later and I still subscribe to Wood but only read American Woodworker at the library or while browsing at Borders.I admit that this magazine has had some great projects in it, but just not as many per issue as Wood or Popular Woodworking.I also regularly read Fine Woodworking, Workbench, and Woodworkers Journal and I have to say that against all of those others I have mentioned, American Woodworker comes in last.
There are better ones
If you want a great all-purpose woodworking magazine go with Fine Woodworking or Popular Woodworking.If you want all sorts of project plans get Wood.
Great for ideas
I looked over most of the wood working magazines and this one seemed to have the most hands on information.If you get just one wood working magazine this is the one to get.Read more

A showcase for design ideas...
Somerset Magazine is the most outstanding publication available for art and crafts, especially for those who are looking for innovative design ideas and quality materials. Everything featured in the magazine is geared towards the reader: artist interviews, seasonal ideas and new products as they reach the market, including inks, dyes, metals, tools and papers. Somerset is extremely user-friendly, each article geared towards accessibility and ease of application. The featured artists speak about their design inspirations, choice of materials and application; they include samples of their work, from hand-lettering to clay, stamping and other eclectic forms of artwork.
Beautiful Magazine
I have subscribed to this magazine since it first became available and have watched it constantly evolve, getting better all the time.I have also given gift subscriptions to people who do not even do any kind of art, crafts, etc.Its beauty can be appreciated by all.

High end
I love all of the Somerset Studio publications. I would buy each of their publications if I never did another paper, photo or textile project again. These publications are truly "eye candy"and their projects are inspiring. ... Read more

Buyer Beware!
This is an excellent publication, however I suggest that you purchase it online from the Ceramics Mo folks or fill out one of their subscription cards.The price from the Amazon folks is one and a half times more expensive than buying it direct! The yearly subscription rate is $24. TWO YEAR subscription is only $40...just $3.00 more than thru Amazon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sumptuous!
Ceramics Monthly offers articles featuring influential international ceramic artists, sumptuous photographs, and current information on residencies, fellowships and grants. There is a good representational mix of abstract and functional, pottery and sculpture.Read more

OK, but not the best
A year ago I decided to tear out my old workshop and start all over with a new layout, new equipment and new storage. To get lots of ideas I subscribed to Fine Woodworking, Fine Homebuilding, Popular Woodworking, Wood, and Workbench. The one I'll be dropping is Workbench. I have found Workbench to be too light on content. My ranking is:
Making your Home Look Better
Workbench is a magazine aimed at do-it-yourself type people who like to work on their own home improvements and save money in the process. This publication presents dozens of woodworking ideas for home improvement and a few for hobby, with plenty of instructions and diagrams to make sure you get it right.
Making Things Better
There is no lack of woodworking magazines for the budding (or advanced) craftsman.Each has a particular audience for its contents.For someone looking for the right magazines to subscribe to this can be a confusing process. Especially when the potential reader isn't precisely sure what they want themselves. Read more

A true r/c mag
This blows away r/c car action. Greg Vogel used to work for r/c car action before it went downhill. He made this mag great.
Whoa, a REAL RC magazine!
I was blown away by RC Driver from my first issue! This heavy book has unbelievable pictures and got more car tests then the other mags plus boats in there to. If u want helpful tips and honest testing and not just a catilog of ads GET DRIVER! It's the only one i will subscribe to now

Buyer Beware
This subscription was a fiasco! It was always late and by the time I received and read it, I wanted to throw it out. It is filled with old products, tiresome pics, dull articles and way to many advertisements.

It is good for my knitting soul!
Living far away, I get my magazines weeks after it is on the streets in US. This waiting period is long! I hope for the mag every day, and send at least two impatient e-mails to the custom service. In Norway we havent got knitting mags you can read,only with patterns. I have been knitting all my life, my hobby has been much more satisfactory after I found Knitting (and Interweave Knits). I find patterns that I want to knit, get ideas how I can knit something other on the basis of a pattern. I can plan what I will knit next year, buying a lot of yarn for future projets! The informations I get about American knitting women, makes me happy! Grete

Wonderful addition to knitting library
I received my first issue a few weeks ago. There are several patterns in this issue that I will knit, and some maybe's. I buy many knitting magazines in stores, mainly because I want to check them out before I buy. This magazine is a consistant purchase for me, which is why I finally subscribed. (I also enjoy most of Interweave, Vogue Knitting, Rebecca, and Creative Knitting, though I have chosen not to subscribe to them. Usually not enough patterns in them that I would knit.)

Getting better...
Love the new fashion trend articles. It's getting better, but it's not quite there yet. Could use a bit more professional and interesting graphic design. The patterns could be more useful and unique. Starting to get better. Really liking the new editor! Kudos for him in a major way. ... Read more

2 years ahead of the fashion curve! Light years ahead of ordinary plus size fashion!
I just reviewed Burda Moden, and much of what I said there applies here too.
I'm a Believer!
I ordered back issues of this magazine from an Ebay dealer in the UK after the Spring 2006 issue came out and I am sold not just on Burda Plus but on Berlin fashion designers as well- the women, anyway, make lovely, flowing but not "girly" clothes that are very wearable - Think Eileen Fisher or Flax but withdarker, richer colors, fibers and textures, slightly more "fit" and more interesting shapes in a wider variety -- not just the same few repeated again and again.Clothes for the decades, not the season -- and the patterns are HERE!at least some of them, from designers like Evelyn Brandt, Doris Strietch (and another Berliner (female)whose name escapes me at the moment, but whose clothes I deeply admire.)
Long time for delivery
I purchased this item in January, but I haven't seen it yet. It take a long time. ... Read more

The name couldn't be better!!
I buy lots of needlework magazines, including quilting, and this is the absolute #1 magazine I have ever read.In fact I just bought about 30 back issues. Filled with truly inspired embroidery projects
Inspirations is the perfect name for this publication.Every feature inside is a little gem ofneedleart craftsmanship that would stand out against any professional work.How they manage to keep on creating those deligthtful designs every issue without starting to look like every other pedestrian embroidery magazine I have no idea, but the editors deserve a little prayer of thanks for their high standards.Read more

Name says it all
If you need a quilt real quick, then this magazine is for you!I've made several of the quilts in Quick Quilts and have found them to be very easily put together due to the magazines clear and straight forward directions.There is always a lovely variety in the number of patterns and the techniques used within.Quick Quilts breaks down difficult design patterns and shows you how to make them up easily and fast!(I made a Double Wedding Ring wall hanging in an issue from 2 years ago and I finished it with in a couple of weeks.) ...

Fabulous Magazine
Hip, fun patterns - this is the only crochet magazine I've found that has patterns for clothing and accessories I'd really consider wearing.Not the old lady, cutsey stuff I've seen in other magazines.I love the updated look, and there are always plenty of choices for all levels of crocheters.Highly recommend to all those folks out there who are tired of boring afghans, kiddie sweaters in red, white and blue, and doilies!

Great magazine
Crochet! carries some very stylish current designs that appeal to younger crocheters such as myself. The pictures are beautiful, and there is always a little how-to guide with great illustrations for beginners. The magazine also features new stitching techniques and highlights developments in the world of crochet. Introductions to new tools and the tips offered have proven invaluable. Even the doilies, tablecloths and other household items I've always relegated to "my granny's crochet" are so beautiful and stylish, I find myself making a couple! Plus there's always something appropriate to the season, Valentine's Day, St. Paddy's Day, that make great quick and easy gifts for family and friends.
Updated Crochet
I currently own at least one issue of about 8 different crochet magazines and Crochet! is my favorite of all of them and the ONLY one that I subscribe to.The designs are always current and unlike some magazines are not re-publications of designs that were originally published elswhere.Ladies wearables, accessories, and afghans are the staple of this magazine though you will occassionally also find wearabes for other family members as well as a variety of other interesting patterns such as crochet for the kitchen and bathroom, crochet for spicing up the holdiays, etc.What's more is that they always try to include patterns from some of the "newer" (or newly revived) techniques such as thread painting, crochet'n weave etc.The instructions are quite thorough, often with diagrams and yes...you will find some patterns in here that will cater to the plus sizes.Another interesting feature of this magazine is that they spotlight on what's new in the crochet world so you always feel like you're on the cutting edge of what's current in crochet.Read more
