SUMMARY: They've recently changed the name to "Be Creative With Workbox". I've only got this issue. I picked it up because I'd been told that they publish tatting patterns. This one had an article "Types of Hand-made Lace" so I thought it likely to show some examples of tatting. My mistake. It presented descriptions of about a dozen different types of handmade lace - some of them quite obscure - but failed to mention tatting at all. That rather annoyed me. I also noticed that most of the "articles" listed in their table of contents were actually ads for products. The articles were suggestions on how to use these products. I don't know if this was unusual, or if this policy changed over the years. I'd love to hear from someone who has a run of this title and can fill me in. I'd had expectations of it being the British version of my beloved "Workbasket", but was disappointed in this expectation. Your mileage may, of course, vary.
They have a website: http://www.workboxmag.com/ .
