February SK (already)This landed on Christmas Eve & I got to look at it yesterday. The only pattern I like is chunky hoodie, but even the smallest size (to fit 34-36") measures a whopping 46". I don't want 10" of positive ease  I think my sub for this will have to end, it's all a bit samey, with half of the eds letters about Alan Dart toys, as usual 
Oh yeah, & the free needle roll is too small to fit any standard length needles in it

i'm not fussed about this one either. i like the hoodie but haven't investigated the sizing yet. i'm still making sackboy from the last issue - i'm still stunned that they got that pattern in so quickly! i hate all the hats and cushion covers in this issue - i'm sure i've seen a similar hat in an older issue

You're right, you have, they've used it stick that crochet flower thing on. I think they mention what back issue it's in.

I quite like the needle roll, I think its quite pretty and I am going to use it to store my crochet hooks. Jo is right its not big enough for regular sized needles. Would be OK for DPNs but I dont use those
Don't like anything else though. I might change my sub to The Knitter, the sister mag that is advertised in it.
