Magazines

Subscriptions:
Subscriptions are available for all the magazines (except Creative Knitting, for which I only have back issues). Subscription cost is the price of the current issue of the magazine plus $2.50 postage each, for as many issues forward as you want to pay, limited to a maximum of 2 years worth of issues. For example: Knitters is $11.00 plus $2.50 per issue, and is published four times a year, so a year's worth of issues is $54.00. Many of the back copies of these magazines are still available from the US. Let me know if there is a particular issue you are looking for.
NOTE: The recent drop in the exchange rate of the Australian Dollar has meant the cost of overseas magazines has risen a few dollars.
