I like them all.
I used to adore Cross Stitcher (I've had a 2 years subscription), but lately it's becoming repetitive. Also, it has so many small designs but few challenging works, and I just can't find anything interesting there.

I love The world of Cross Stitching because it has variety, but sometimes the printing isn't very good and I get crossed eyes from reading charts.

I love New Stitches, but I can't find it in Italy :cry:

I have subs to WOXS and XS crazy but to be honest I haven't read them much lately. I don't want to give them up though for the same reason as Angel they try and give a different finishing idea every issue and there is a good mix of designs, designers, human interest stories etc. Also the free gifts are usually worth it too. The little tin from WOXS this month is excellent for taking small bits and bobs with you if you take a kit when you go out. The only propblem with that is I may have to buy a smaller pair of scissors as my normal pairs don't fit.

I had a subscription to the online magazine The Gift of Stitching. Loved it. Didn't have money to renew this year, although it is not expensive. But I have so many things I want to stitch from the older ones that it is all right, really.
