So everyone has marveled over Craft Magazine and I don't understand why. In fact, I think it, um, "rhymes with lucks." I had great hope because a gazillion blogs rave over it. I even tried two issues (thankfully my sister, Missy, bought the second one so I didn't have to shell out the dough for it).
I thought the Japan Style would catch my fancy but the cats on the cover are ugly. They pale in comparison to the fabulous Animal Mascot book I just received from an eBay seller. I'll have to take photos and post soon as they are the cutest darn animals ever!
Back to Craft. The projects are bizarre and I wouldn't want to own any of the items made in it much less waste my time making them.
Yes, I agree, I flipped thorough it the other day. I think the layout is poor and it's ugly. It just feel cluttered.

Oh, you're not alone! :D Heh... and how do you feel about all those granny square blankets? ;)

I agree - it's a bizarre magazine, but I think that's why I like it. I know that I will probably never make something out of there (well, I take that back, I did like the t-shirt in the latest issue), but it's the only place I learned about the nasty-ness called fermented tea (from the first issue) and other oddities! LOL

shh...don't tell anyone but i am not that keen on it either. it's too random for me, there may be only one thing in an issue that interests me and i ain't shelling out $15 bucks for that.
don't tell though, we might be thrown out of the bizarre bizaare or something.
