We must all have a similar advertisement tolerance. I too noticed the other day that these newletters have turned into email advertisements for the books/magazines. Thanks – I thought I was getting cranky.

I’m with ya on that! I unsubscribed to the promotional emails via a link at the bottom of one of them. I just bookmarked TECHknitting! Thanks so much, that blog is great!

Okay, it is not just me. I don’t mind the occasional ad email but they are blasting you with them. And if you are subscribed to the newsletter, you shouldn’t have to register to get the patterns. I don’t mind the crochet but there needs to be a balance and it is not there.

I’m glad I’m not the only one bothered by that! I keep getting them because there seems to be the occasional one that enjoy reading. But I donn hate having to wade through the ads.

I’ve noticed recently KD has become a bit crochet heavy, too. Now, I crochet (although the crocheting has ended up in a coma these days, as knitting is just too explosively nice for me), but I am not hungry for info about it. I am still subscribed because I am holding out hope that it will be the daily knitting e-magazine I first thought it would be.

I too noticed that about Knitting Daily. At first I thought it was just me, or perhaps just one or two editions. However, it really seems to be the new layout. Which is a pity. Much like you Dk, I already subscribe to Interweaves publications. For them to blast me with more ads is useless for everyone concerned.

I agree. I’ve unsubscribed to it, I was so disappointed in it.

Yes, I was just thinking the same thing and wondering about it. I guess you have to put up with the advertising and registering to get the patterns, etc. Gets cumbersome after a while, but the patterns are free….a trade off of sorts, I guess. I agree. TECHKnitting is a good blog.
