I agree there are some unattrative garments in Knitscene. I've been knitting since the 70's and I have never seen a knitting magazine that contained more than 3 articles I would knit. Knitscene falls right in the pack with the rest of the pack. :) Coats worn open indoors were very popular during the 80s when energy prices were high.

Now I don't think there's nothing worth making in Knitscene, but I do think an awful lot of the garments have real problems.

It does always irritate me when women my age (like Marilyn) gets on a high horse and start extolling the virtues of all the patterns that appeared in our youth. There was a lot of crap around in the '80s, and many issues McCalls were just 'World O Crap". I may need to take a picture of a cover. . .

Knitscene does have its issues, but I thought it was a reasonably nice attempt. And the magazine covers were pretty hideous.
