annie's attic scrap club

[scc51055]

i got an email asking me if i wanted to join the annie's attic scrap club for crocheters. it looks kind of interesting, but then again it is one of those things where patterns are sent periodically and you need to return if you dont want them.

 

has anyone else gotten this email or have you subscribed?

here is the link to it: http://promotions.drgnetwork.com/series/ESCSCA_Mar07/ESCSCAA.html

I got the email, but I don't think I'll subscribe.

 

I subscribed to Crafter's Choice, the book club, and like most "clubs", they rarely have anything I want, and are overpriced.

 

I suspect this Scrap Crochet Club is the same, if not worse, since Annie's Attic tends to be a tad on the, ahem, overpriced side, to begin with.

 

I'm betting all the patterns come from books they've previously published, so if you are like me, and have more than one of their scrap crochet books, you probably already have a lot of the patterns they'll send you.

I used to subscribe to the scrap patterns and only got them long enough to get the pattern I really wanted. Lots of the patterns are what I would call bazaar items. A lot of holiday projects like tissue covers and potholders. Small children's purses, finger puppets. Lots of afghans. I agree that most of the patterns can be found in other books or magazines.

 

When I wanted to end my subscription, it was not a problem. I just wrote cancel on the invoice and never got another packet.

i figured that is how it would be i think i will pass on it as well.

I got them all! I am surprised by how much I refer to them, now. To get ideas and help.

I also got the quilt series.

I almost forgot, I also got their afghan series.

But then, I love most things!

I subcribed but they are way overpriced for the quality of the patterns.

I subscribed, got the first batch (which I thought were AWFUL) so I cancelled.

I was not overly impressed - I thought they where over-priced for recieving patterns that I wasn't overly fond of. Though I have made a few of the projects.
