Crochet! November ‘08
I just got the latest issue of Crochet! magazine in the mail. As usual of late, there are several great patterns in it, like a very pretty Romantic Ruffles Pullover and a fantastic Winter White Car Coat. I definitely would like to make the latter before the really cold weather settles in. And great news, it comes in 2x, although for this pattern I can probably get by with the large. I’m really glad to see that they’ve added more sizes to their patterns than they did when I first experienced their magazine a couple of years ago. It definitely makes it overall more appealing, at least for me. Something I don’t like in this issue is a special advertising section that mixes knitting with crochet. I’m sure if I could knit, I’d probably be more accepting of it, but what’s a few patterns I won’t do compared to the few I will? I never aspire to do every single pattern in every single publication I receive anyway.
For Christmas gifts, I can see myself making up a handful of the his/her Double Take slippers, and possibly the his/her Aspen Neck Warmers, although offhand, I can’t think of anyone in my family that would wear a short scarf.
If you haven’t received your copy, I’m sure it’ll be hitting your mailbox or magazine rack soon. Oh, and for those who receive the magazine from their CGOA membership, there’s pictures of the CGOA Design Contest winners. There’s some pretty awesome projects there!
