Stitching magazines from overseas are way beyond my budget, and local
ones don't have the os designers represented. Not that it worries me,
as I probably have more patterns in my stash than I'll ever finish.
I just like looking at what is available when there's an opportunity,
such as a web address or link.

I found many of the magazines started repeating themselves, and
frequently had some very basic - too basic - cross stitch patterns. In
fact, if your interest lies elsewhere, there was usually one, perhaps
two items per mag, the rest was cross stitch.
There still are some interesting ones, Piecework and Inspirations, but
you're right, costly.
This is a link to the book I mentioned, didn't think to look online at
first.

The magazine thing is really difficult, isn't it. I prefer the British
magazines to the American ones overall, and they are quite expensive. A
year's subscription is not reasonable for me. Either way, British or
American, if you fall in love with something and want to order it, the
shipping, handling etc costs can mount up very quickly. ( I remember some
years ago someone here tossing at me when a floss exchange was proposed that
I could get a few skeins of something or other from Herrschners, and having
to explain that the shipping cost, before exchange rate, would be more than
the cost of the items.) Ah well, like you, I have more charts (and kits!)
than I will likely complete in this lifetime--and a good source to get those
charts I can't live without despite that.
