The Ravelry Effect

...strikes me again. There's a thread about the previews for the new Fall 2008 Knitscene magazine. I normally probably would not even bother to check out preview pictures, but once you hear people raving about this pattern and that pattern, it's hard not to go take a look for yourself.

They've got some beautiful photography, with great attention to lighting and colors. I think that is one of the biggest problems I have with the non-Interweave magazines. A lot of the time they use the most hideous color combinations and no artistry in the lighting or poses whatsoever. Just a quick glance through the Knitscene photos, and I already want to buy the issue. Even if I look more closely and find that I only like some of the projects, I will probably still buy it anyway.
