A Nice Surprise!

I had a nice surprise when I went out to the mailbox yesterday.  About 6 months ago, I took out a subscription to Knitter's Digest.  I have been very disappointed in it.  The last couple of  issues left much to be desired.  I was not going to renew.  Well, yesterday in the mail, was a new magazine -- apparently Knitter's Digest is no more.  It has been replaced with Creative Knitting.  It reminds me a lot of FCEK now.  There are patterns for a lace stripe sweater, lots of scarves (still obviously big this fall), there is also a sweater out of Melissa Leapman's new book Hot Knits. There are other Melissa Leapman sweaters, along with socks and things for children and afghans.  And my favorite of all -- on page 28, the "Soy Delicious Shell."  It is a long tunic style form fitting sleeveless shell with slits on the side and seed stitch ribbing.  It has definately made it onto my "Must Do" list!  The sweater in the book is made out of Soy Silk Ribbon yarn, hence the name Soy Delicious Shell.  All in all, I liked the new magazine.  It was a definate upgrade from the issue of Knitter's Digest I expected to find in my mailbox!!!!
