Oh Cast On, listen to the people! Not even 1 vote -- shameful. I would have to say that IK has been my favorite also, with a few issues last year that I really enjoyed, but I feel like it's been a bit off the last couple of issues. Maybe the winter issue will have me back on the IK bandwagon. I'm also looking forward to their 2 special issues.
Time for me to get back to work. Have a great weekend & Happy Knitting!
This poll was very interesting. I voted for IK, but VK is a close second. I do agree the last few issues have less patterns that I want to knit myself, but I still enjoy the magazine on a whole (and I am trying to get those lovely last year issues via eBay!!).

I totally agree with the Poll...so much that I went and subscribed to Rowan again...I have let my subscription lapse this past year. Have a great weekend.

I just subscribed to IK so I'm glad to see it's well received. The fall issue has a couple of cute things that I'm adding to my list.

As much as I love the Rowan, the magazines are just so damn expensive. I do like some of the stuff in Vogue, but IK seems more consistant in number of cute things.

I agree with the IK vote. And Vogue Knitting is running second. Poor Knitter's is getting "out there" and they may never be able to reign it back in!

What - no Knitters Magazine on the poll?

Is it strange that I'm excited that the one I voted for won?

IK is overall my favorite, although VK and Knitter's come in a close second. Rowan has some pretty fab things too.
It's a bit sad about Cast On, but I just don't like most of the patterns.

I'm surprised that Knitters magazine didn't make your poll. While I like the pretty pictures in IK, I find more to knit in Vogue Knitting, and I *always* find things in Knitters. It is my favorite magazine! I buy the back issues whenever I can, and the subscription is going to be my birthday gift to myself.
Interweave just doesn't normally have things I would knit in real life. Well, with the exception of the sock patterns. I love the socks. And some of the scarves.

I too voted for IK and I'm saddened by Cast On's lack of support. I love Cast On for the techincal articles but the patterns are usually real dogs! And Vogue will NEVER get my $$ when their idea of XL = 40" ....um, not in the REAL WORLD, Vogue!!!

I bought the latest Vogue for the Deborah Newton shawl too. I'm disappointed that the wavy lace pattern isn't charted though. I plan to use Classic Elite Lush and try to either find a chart of the pattern in one of my books or chart it myself.
