New mag out in Jan 09Has anyone else heard about this new mag? It's a 'sister' magazine to Simply Knitting. I had an e-mail through earlier so thought I'd share.New knitting magazine! There have been lots of exciting developments in our office in the past few weeks, and we’re finally able to tell you all about it: we’re getting a new sister! Yes, that’s right: there’ll soon be another knitting magazine hitting the shelves! It’s called The Knitter, and will cater for skilled knitters with more than ten challenging patterns in each issue. Don’t worry though: Simply Knitting isn’t going anywhere. The Knitter is a sister, not a twin, and will be providing a range of complex and inspirational patterns designed to challenge experienced knitters, as well as regular features and a column written by Mason Dixon. “Experienced knitters want a magazine with challenging patterns and inspirational ideas to really push their skills,” says Juliet Bernard, The Knitter’s new editor. “As the editor I’m looking forward to showcasing patterns by the best designers from around the world. As a knitter, I can’t wait to start knitting them!” The very first issue of The Knitter will be on sale on Wednesday 7 January 2009, so don’t forget to ask your newsagent to save you a copy! See here for more details on the Simply Knitting blog. |

It does sound very interesting and I will certainly be buying issue 1!
There is quite a long discussion thread about it in British Knitters on ravelry. It does go a bit off-track at times though. |

Wonder if it will be better than SK. |
