With some delay (several webzines being released well after the announced date), I dedicate this review to journals and newspapers exclusively online, even after doing another paper for magazines, because the News is too rich in the last quarter of 2008.
Twist Collective: In this second edition, still the same nice layout hyper-careful, always a wonderful choice of models (many coats and jackets, cool!), always the same variegated recognized creative and bloggers. Very well done.
I now turn to online journals, in reverse chronological order of publication ( roughly ).
Ulla : a new record in terms of number of models (41!) While there is not the same quality, but there are many very interesting models (including some caps to the logical design and beautiful jacquard).
The Inside Loop : 4th issue I find their most accomplished to date, models have won quality and quantity.
Knit on the Net: again, a number more varied and elaborate than usual.
Knotions : again, I find this second issue better than the previous one (I mostly hung with superb socks Julia), although I find the layout a bit unbalanced and organization of the site a bit confused (do not forget to click every time on "additional peaks" to better see models).
MetaPostModernKnitting : 2nd issue also MPMK. I find them nice initiative, but I admit being somewhat hampered by a small through: in the intro to almost all their models, they cite a claw which they were inspired / they have pumped. For me, if one calls from a "fashion design" is because we are trying to be original, not copy something already done, right? It's funny, moreover, because the two models I like best are the ones that have no referent confessed. Prism has a construction not trivial: I love the back and neck, but the triangles of the front are reminiscent of a bikini top somewhat ptotic, unfortunately (I wonder if we could go back to fix it). And Army Inspired Socks provide ideas for addressing increases in the calf socks.
The Anticraft : a month ago already, the last came out, devoted to Day of the dead Mexican version. Many skulls, then, the funniest being Sweet satisfaction to my taste.
Knitty : The Knitty Winter is coming soon. Amy Singer and announces a new site in the wake mystery! I confess to being eager to discover what it is.
Meanwhile, recall that since my last press release, not only is the Fall Knitty appeared, but the surprises are out too (around Halloween as usual) and the 2009 calendar is available for sale. In my opinion, the level rose again after 2 numbers a little soft, to celebrate the 6th anniversary of the magazine.
Finally, the news ahead: The Knitting
Forecast (Ravelry link) scheduled for early December, the first issue of the British zine (webzine zine or paper?).
[Update: link corrected] Handknit Heroes last but not least , the most intriguing new feature! The eruption of comics - superhero trend - in knitting. The BD of course, but also models. Expected release January 17, 2009. (More)
