Love this emag! Why all the negativity over the price? I know as knitters, you would plunk-down $14.95 for a skein of yarn and not bat an eye. In fact you would buy six if you needed that many for a project. Anyone with a passion for a craft seems to have a blind eye and loose purse strings when it comes to paying for a new addition to their stash (or is that only me). I don't see much passion here.

Definitely looks like a great magazine. Went to barnes &Noble to pick one up. Didn't remember that it was electronic. I have been scared away by all the negativity. I have an iPad. Price is more than I am willing to pay for one issue:(

I just bought 2 of the Sockupied emags, only to find that they won't work on my desktop Win 7 computer, for some reason. I've just gone out and bought a tablet (Android), so will someone PLEASE tell me it will work on THAT! I've been spinning my wheels all weekend, waiting for the office to open so I can get some help.

Is there going to be a sockupied for the crocheters also?

I agree that it looks stunning, but once I heard "Flash" I figured "forget it." Hopefully Interweave can come up with tech staff as good as their knitting staff at some point. $14.95 for a Flash blob? no thanks . . .

I agree w/everyone about what a fantastic format Socupied is. But, I, too, thought I was subscribing to an "e-magazine", NOT to just one issue - I thought the price of 14.97 for something that did not require printing and mailing was reasonable. But, for just one issue it is out of my price range and I will not be 'buying' anymore issues of a one issue magazine. I am retired and living on SS; so every penny counts. Sorry I will have to miss your e-zine's future issues, and just purchase the occassional magazine from the news-stand that has a pattern or technique I'm interested in learning. Thank you - Loretta Acosta

I agree with all the comments about the expense and incompatibility with iPad. I could have lived with the iPad issue but now that I realise the e-mag is a one-off, and having paid for it thinking that it was a subscription, I now feel a bit stupid that I didn't check this before I bought!

I know all about "Buyer Beware" and realise it's my fault, but I still feel a little cheated. It just means that I probably won't be buying anything else for a while till the nasty taste leaves my mouth!

i agree -- cost is a bit steep for me as well.

when comparing to other knitting mags in the $10 range, i think most folks would expect that an online mag would be considerably less in cost.

the idea itself is really really interesting and i love the media options (especially key for visual learners such as myself)!

Sounds like a great idea and looks really interesting, but it is way too expensive for 1 issue, especially for a new mag. Better offer an introductory offer of 3 months or 6 months for that price.

So, if I get it onto this desktop, but want to use it on my laptop (yet to be replaced) while travelling in a country where Internet access is iffy, at best, will it work? Can it be downloaded onto a flash drive or an external hard drive? Will it work - except for the links to the Internet, such as for sellers?

KnitCircus is a paper magazine that has gone electronic. You can read the articles and get 1 knitting pattern, 1 recipe and 1 sewing pattern all for free. You can see all the knitting projects. If you want to make any of the patterns you pay for a download that includes every pattern in the issue. It costs about 8 or 9 dollars. Twist Collective is another e-mag with free articles and even links to how-to videos occasionally. It has a free pattern in each issue as well. If you want to knit any of the other patterns you buy just the ones you want. They cost about 7 dollars each the last time I checked. I like the way Sockupied works also. Interweave should charge any amount they like, but I think it should cost less. Other, smaller operations are managing to publish successfully in the same arena and charge less.

I too was looking for an iPad version as an app, but I'd actually rather have PDFs so I can read it anywhere and on anything. I'll save my money and wait for more of the older spinoff & knits magazines to be electronically republished.
