Schaffhauser Mode Special Edition No. 161 Spring Summer. I cannot find a date anywhere in this issue, (does that mean it's timeless? :)  Printed in Switzerland, this is the English edition.  The 56 garments are stunning, and many are for men!  Most are knit, but there are some really neat crocheted sweaters, too. This issue is in mint condition, you'll be very pleased!  $5 plus shipping.

New format for Canada's beloved Carriage Trade Knitting machine magazine.  Under new ownership after being mast-headed by Ruth Johnson in Sarnia for years, this issue was being called "The all New Carriage Trade".   It only hung in a few short years, but this issue contains a wonderful tribute to Ruth Johnson and Sandy Lightfoot, which will interest machine knitting history fans. Full colour cover, 75 pages of machine knitting information.  Mint condition. $5 plus shipping.

Short-lived Canadian knitting machine magazine,October 1994, appeared after "Carriage Trade" was retired by Ruth Johnson, and Knitwords was begun by Mary Ann Oger.  Folksy, includes patterns contributed by readers and guest designers.  Full colour cover with photos of many of the designs.  Patterns for all knitting machines including Passap are included, along with articles and profiles of knitwear designers.  A fun look at machine knitting in the 90's, this magazine is in mint condition $5 plus shipping.
