What am I, made of money???

I have discovered the coolest magazine for knitters. Interweave Knits. There are tons of great projects to do. Most require some concentration if you are a newbie, but they are so cool. I bought a subscription to the magazine today for $19 . I must think I am made of money. : )

From an economic point of view, it was efficient for me to do it. The alternative would be to pay per magazine, which is about $7 per issue. The magazine comes out quarterly, making the costs $28 per year. I get 5 issues for $19 making each issue cost $3.80. And since I recieve the same utility from getting it in the mail as I do getting it from the store, and assuming I am rational, this is the better deal.

and if you think about it, with all the advertising in most knitting magazines, we should not have to pay hardly anything for it.

If you find 1 pattern you want to knit from each issue, that pretty much justifies the $3.80. Single looseleaf patterns costs more than that.
