Has anyone else heard the rumor Crochet Fantasy is shutting down after this issue? It's circulating on a list I'm on, but I haven't heard anything official yet.

Same here! I just got mine in August, but I had to call them twice to find out if the two issues that I saw on newsstands since we sent in the subscription and check were coming. They weren't, which really annoyed me, but the circulation people never said anything about it shutting down. They said my first issue would be the December one and I would have it by today. It's not here yet which is really annoying, but all my crocheting stuff always takes longer to get here for some reason. At any rate, I heard yesterday that the December issue is the last one. :(

Thanks for letting us know, Vicki. :eek2 What a shame, and the result will be they'll lose customers because they won't be trustworthy in the future. :irked We need more good crochet magazines out there, not LESS! :thumbsdown

darn it :cry and I was just thinking about subscribing to Crochet Fantasy. So glad I've read this...I still haven't been able to find the November Issue yet. Only one lys with emphasis on knitting, but Hobby Lobby has just opened a store about 20 minutes from here -can't wait to visit it.

Anyway, darn...I like Crochet Fantasy. I do hope it does get back up and running, but wonder what went wrong there?

I received a email from Crochet Fantasy the other day concering a back issue. The email said they were in the middle of moving their office and everything was packed up. It also said for me to resend my request in three weeks.

I'm not sure what to think.

Don't know if this is new to anyone but me - but i picked up a copy of the December issue of Crochet Fantasy, at my Meijer's of all places, while my hunny was getting his deer-killing license... I tagged along just to pick up 2 more skeins of bernat for my sister's blanket, so i can finish it tomorrow, and figured I'd swing by the mags to see if there was anything good. I believe it was Crochet World they had also, with tons of XMAS stuff... not my style, but this Crochet Fantasy has a pattern for an adorable turtle neck sweater that I am in :heart with... Some of the other patterns not so much, but there are at least 3 that i like so it was worth it.:thumbsup

I will have to go look at my copy too! :)

 

I was reading through this thread again and it got me thinking... did Crochet Fantasy just make a huge public relations error and tell subscribers they "are temporarily suspended," but all it was is that they are moving offices? If Miki was told to submit her request in a few weeks, and there were previews for a next issue, maybe they really weren't shutting down, maybe it was just that they were moving and couldn't handle any requests. I know people called subscription services and were told they had no idea that the magazine was shutting down. I hope that it's just a big PR mistake (whoever their PR person should be fired for this one!) and that the magazine was just suspended while moving offices and that it's still going to be published. Now that I've seen the previews for that February issue, I *need* to make that dress!! hee hee :lol
