All this is wonderful, but is it not possible to put more into electronic formatting?

I'm teaching in China and NOTHING is available here... not even your offers! So I am becoming reluctant to even open your e-mails.

Why can't you offer the free copy as an e-book for download?

Cheers,

Anne

I subscribed to Piecework at the end of October attracted by the exquisite work featured on the covers of recent issues. My first issue finally arrived this month and I am quite frankly a little disappointed, I knit and I like to knit but if I wanted a knitting magazine I would have subscribed accordingly. Lovely work and interesting content but leaves me cold.

I would love to read about all the articles and patterns I see on Knitting Daily and other sites. Unfortunately, living in Britain means that I don't have easy access to most publications shown, living in Wales as I do means even less access; I often have to ask if Interweave Knits is still on order at my local newspaper shop; Interweave Crochet disappeared some time ago without trace. I've seen Piecework there once or twice but not recently. So for me, Knitting Daily is an important window on what's happening in the knitting world and a vital resource of beautiful patterns. Thank you Knitting Daily!

Yes, historical fiction! I'm a major fan of the Outlander series. I just finished the 7th book. I'm also a nut for info on historical textiles.

Just began a subscription to Piecework and loved the History issue. I never really thought about that slant on knitting for a magazine. Wonderful! Thanks.

I have some hand knitted lace that was on the edge of some pillowcases my 2nd great grandmother made. She was born in Nov 1847 & lived until I was 5 years old. I knew & remember her. I have always loved knitting. I learned how as a 17 year old. The first thing I ever knitted was a pair of argyle socks which were the things to do in 1951. But they were knitted out of pure wool & in those days moths loved to eat them. We had forms to place them on to air dry them. You could buy a kit with instructions, the various colors of wool, & nylon reinforcement to knit into the heels & toes. They were done on 4 straight needles, using bobbins to change the colors & the only sewing was to finish the back of the sock from top to where the back of the heel was. Jeri Jensen

I too, get Piecework Magazine and love the patterns as well as the articles. I love the historical articles how handwork was done and used through out the "ages" . <It is a really great magazine!! Reita Julien Dunnville, Ontario Canada

I love the knitting edition and, frankly that's the only reason I subscribe to Piecework. If you had the knitting edition year-round I would snap it up in a heartbeat. Sandy Meadows

When I got my latest issue of Piecework I sat down and did absolutely nothing until I read it from cover to cover! My DH wanted to know if I was planning to cook dinner that night - guess what the answer was......nope, it's your turn! LOL!

This is such a quality magazine - thank you!!!!

The latest issue of Piecework had me at the cover. I sat down with it and thoroughly enjoyed my trip through history. The staff should be so proud of themselves for producing such quality. I could not put it down until I had it finished. Thank you so much.
