I don’t just pick up and read front to back. First of all I like the fun essay at the back of the mag if there is one. Often I’ll read it more than once.
Secondly I like to go front to back just looking at the photos and dog-earing anything that appeals to me.
I usually look quickly at every page. I LOVE all the yarn advertisements. Then later on I go back and read from cover to back…but not necessarily all at one time. I LOVE all my knitting mags.
I usually use my eyes to read my knitting magazines…hahaha…Couldn’t resist…But seriously, I typically go straight to the patterns then flip through it to see if anything else interests me enough to read.
I go back to front, too!:?? I finally figured out that I just prefer to hold the magazine in my left and and flip with my right. I get a look at the patterns and articles and then, when I have proper time, I go through a bit more carefully
