Printed Books and Magazines for Knitters and Crocheters

Good day, my dear crafters!

As always, I want to wish you a great day!

Hope, that all of you are fine!

What do you think of printed books and magazines for knitting and crocheting - are they quite old-fashioned now or do people still love them?

Really interesting to know your opinion.

i prefer books over digital because you can hold them and mark in them as well as not worrying about your battery dying..

Hello Susan. I do prefer printed instructions. You can always go back for reference, keep it to work thru other projects. Place it next to you to read instructions, share with friends/family etc! It doesn't go dark like the screen on smartphones, battery doesn't ever go low making you run for your charger at crucial step of crocheting 😬 overall, I still love printed matter over digital. Great post!🌻

It is really useful to have a printed pattern. It can be easily refered to and marked for references.
