New Issue of Crochet!
I received the latest issue of Crochet! magazine in the mail today and all I can say is, “WOW!” There’s some very pretty patterns in there. I remember not liking this magazine much when I first started crocheting a couple of years ago, but it seems they’ve been listening to their readers and have changed things up a bit. I’ve really enjoyed the issues I started receiving when I joined the CGOA.
My favorite pattern in this issue is the crochet denim jacket. It takes a piece of denim and a lot of crochet to make an attractive jacket. This one is on my list of things to make for myself before cooler weather settles in. I also really like the Romantic Layers set. I’m not one to dress up a whole lot, so I don’t know if this would ever get worn, but it’s definitely something I wouldn’t mind having in my wardrobe just in case. The Dolman Jacket is really nice, too, and may end up in my closet someday.
There’s some great non-wearable patterns as well. I have to mention the Classy Messenger Bag created by Tracie Barrett of Fibers by Tracie. This is an awesome looking bag that has made it to my to-do list. It’s been fun watching Tracie as she started her designing career. I first found her in Ravelry and have read her blog for awhile now. It’s really neat to see a familiar name on a published pattern. Hopefully, some day, my name will be on one, too. There’s also a cute monkey, a chic little bucket bag, and a Breast Cancer Awareness scarf. Like I said, lots of good stuff in this issue.
If you haven’t gotten a copy yet, you can get a sneak peak at the other items on the Crochet! web site under Features, then click on “In this Issue”. You won’t be disappointed.
Happy Crocheting!
