I’ve been eager to get my fluffy little paws on the Fall issue of Vogue Knitting for some time. There are so many lovely patterns in this issue that caught my eye in the preview:
And even if it’s a year or two until I get around to knitting them, I wanted the patterns! But I had problems getting this issue. My usual online sources didn’t have it, and I was wary of paying huge amounts of postage to get it sent from the US. Then I picked up a copy of the new Verena magazine in WHSmith. I should write a review of that, really as it has some nice stuff in it. Though I find it ironic that it’s a European magazine but we Brits have to wait til it’s published in the US before we get hold of it..!
Anyway, there was a price sticker on the front of Verena, with a website address for Magazine Café. And they have Vogue! I ordered the magazine on Tuesday, and it arrived this morning – free postage, as well. Eagerly I opened the wrapper and then had an “oh crap!” moment, because I thought they had sent the wrong issue:
But this is actually the Fall 2008 issue of Vogue Knitting. Just for some bizarre reason, it has an entirely different cover. The inside even refers to the green mitten cover photo. Maybe this is a rare and collectible magazine that I should wrap in plastic in case it increases in value. But more likely that someone just cocked up somewhere along the line. 
So I’m off for a cuppa, a read of the magazine and to plan my knitting for next two years!
