Craft:

Because I know people are just clammoring to purchase holiday gifts for me, I thought I'd throw this out there:

Charter Member Subscription to Craft: from craftzine.com

Looks like a pretty spiff magazine (dude! Susie Bright is a contributor!), but $34.95 for four issues is a bit steep for me.

Oh, that's the magazine I was telling you about that has some knitted robots! It seems steep, but they cost $15 each--so looking at it from that point it doesn't seem so bad.

I've thought of asking for that as well, but I only get gifts from my Mom and grandparents. I've told them just to give me cash since I'm so broke.

If someone buys me a subscription, I'll be happy to loan you my issues. =D

Have you heard of Make magazine (http://makezine.com/)? They publish some very interesting craft projects, submitted by subscribers.

It looks like the same thing as Craft:

I subscribe to ReadyMade (http://www.readymademag.com/).

Email me your address and *I* will get it for you for the holidays. The world needs more people doing craft things and I like to buy things for people when I can. Besides, think of all the things I might end up with in the mail that you make and decide you don't like! ;)

Besides, with how my Wire Jewelry, etc. magazines pile up, I can't justify buying any more magazines for myself and this way you can pass along the instructions for the interesting projects!

Oh, honey! Wow, I'm really touched. I didn't dream anyone would actually take me up on this. Wow.

You'll find my address on a package that should be arriving at your house soon. =)

I used to have a subscription to ReadyMade. I LOVED it.

I think the price is really high...
We (sfcm) hosted their magazine party in Oct, I got a free copy there. For me=not worth the $15 newstand price per issue, or $35 a yr... other people love it-go figure.

How was the content/ad ratio?

[mechascorpio.livejournal.com]

It's very content heavy, which explains the price. It's a really sharp pub, and if you like RM, you'll like this.

Cool. I was generously offered a gift subscription (see above)! I'm pretty excited.
