Socoder -> On Topic -> The Art of Knitting

92 issues later, Mum finishes the "Art of Knitting" magazine's wooly throw.
Each issue taught a different style, or type of knit, and occasionally delved into multi-coloured knits.
Each week you'd knit the square, and then they all get stitched together to create a nice big "throw".
92 weekly issues = about a year and a half, and she's enjoyed doing them all.
.. Well, except a couple which were tricky!

92 x £1.99 = £183.08
FFS!!

But well worth it, as she's loved doing it.

..

WARNING : A NEW CHALLENGER APPROACHES


The magazine's now heading into it's second throw. They rang to confirm whether we'd like to continue with the magazine's second throw.
Another throw, but with each and every square being a multicoloured knit, with all manner of different internal shapes.

.. Mum's dreading it!

Jesus... It'd be cheaper just to go to Dunelms and buy one ready made.

Indeed. But given the thousands that these kind of multipart magazines usually end up costing, this one wasn't too bad.
Plus you actually get to DO something with each individual issue, rather than just "attach part A3 to last week's part A2, and by Issue 27, you'll have enough parts for the entire wheel!"

*cough cough*
