Yes! I enjoy looking through and reading the personal bits. Also, the YouTubes are great, but IMHO, it is easier to make a pattern with the book instead of finding the spot on the YouTube that I need for a refresher. It's like anything else, some folks will like it and some won't. If I use one pattern from it, that's less expensive than one pattern for $9.00+. And those have mistakes, too. As a teacher, I know that writing directions is way harder than telling someone directions. I'm keeping my subscription and consider it a treat that I can enjoy over and over again.
