The New Interweave!

[queen_mo]

I just got off the phone with my local bookshop (LBS?) and they have their shipment and have been invoice for the new issues of Interweave Press Crochet. They have yet to unpack it but it should be there! I'm so excited:hook . Has anyone got their copy yet?

[vernzap]

I don't have a copy yet, but I want one! I think this mght require a trip to my LYS after dh get s home from work.

I just got mine at Barnes and NOble. I haven't had time to go through it yet. I think I'll sit with a cup of tea and enjoy.

I just got my copy today from Barnes and Noble...I love every pattern in there, but haven't decided which one to do yet. I want to do one of the ones that combine knitting and crochet. This is the type of crochet magazine I love. Fresh, chic, and incorporating quality yarns. Ironically, I wouldn't want this magazine to turn into a subscription because it might become mediocre and we have plenty of other magazines for that!

 

 

I am disappointed by the fact that the magazine has a very beautiful tank dress called, Tuscany Tank Dress, but there's no pattern for it!? Why, since I purchased the magazine, do I have to go to the website www.interweavecrochet.com to obtain the pattern? There's even an address you can send for the pattern provided you give them a stamped self addressed envelope. Now, if I wanted only to make this dress, then I wouldn't have to purchase the magazine, right? That part sucks! I bought the magazine, so why can't I get it along with the other patterns? *off my soapbox* I still would've bought the magazine either way, but I just don't understand the logic behind excluding it in the magazine.

I can't wait to get my copy of this magazine. I was hoping to get it at Michael's with my 40% off coupon, but I haven't been down there yet this week to see if they have it in. I may call them tomorrow. I ran to the grocery earlier, and checked in at Books-a-Million, but they don't have it either. I'm so anxious to get it, that I would have bought it at BAM if only they had had it!

Ok I guess my hippie days are showing but I bought the mag strictly for the sandals near the end of the mag. Crocheting with jute sounds fun and this is definitely different from furry flip-flops.

 

Making your own sandals is so Mother Earth News. I'm flashing memories of my past.

 

Down side is.....all the mags at my B&N weren't cut correctly so I had to tear apart 6 or 7 pages.

Shebear, I had the same problem! I had many pages that were uncut and while I love the magazine, I find that it's a little skinny for $7.99!

Yes, I noticed that as well. But, I was able to neatly tear down the crease and it looks good as new!

I just got mine!!!

 

 

I can't wait to make this lil' girl cardi!!! It's so precious! I also love the Babette blanket! yippee!

This is a skinny issue, but it makes up for it with the quality of work. I'm excited about it.

 

I agree with Karen about the tank dress. I wonder if it had too many errors or something? Like it wasn't ready in time? I dunno. That's kind of weird!

 

Anyway, I'm still happy... yay! Too many patterns, not enough time!

I have been drooling over the patterns in this issue since I got a copy last weekend. I want to make the French Bistro top, the sandals, the Sea Foam skirt (this will be my first hairpin lace if I do it), etc., etc.

 

I can't believe I only started crocheting a few months ago; I'm completely addicted and the number of patterns I want to make...well, let's not even go there. Honestly, I've knitted off and on for years, but it's never been a love like this and Interweave Crochet magazines only help to fuel this obsession.

I went and looked at this mag at B&N last night. I'm glad I sat down at the store and looked through it. I was disappointed. I saw maybe 1 or 2 things i MIGHT make and that was it. I have plenty of other patterns at home that I WILL make so didn't buy it.

Trish, I just saw your post right at the same time I posted mine and I was gushing over this magazine! Just goes to show how people's tastes run a gamut, eh?

I'm dissapointed with this issue, too. Oh well, there are a few things I still want to make from the previous issue, so it's all good.
