BH&G Simply Creative Crochet

[Julie]

LionBrand has a link to a new magazine on their website, but darned if I can find it anywhere else. I must be blind, I'm not finding a thing on the BH&G website. :th

 

Simply Creative Crochet

 

Bernat has a mention of a 'new' magazine coming out on October 7th or 8th, but with a picture of last years issue so I don't know if that is the proper date or not.

I haven't seen it any where else either, but I haven't checked at Barnes and Noble or AC Moore yet. I checked the BH&G website, too, and only found info on the last issue.

[Donna]

Oooh, goodie, another issue! I'm on the lookout! :fc

[Guest PaisleyAngel]

Hi ladies! The new issue is expected to hit newsstands on Oct. 7, but I have heard that it's already in some Walmarts. :woohoo People who ordered it by calling BH&G's 800 number already got it. I've heard good things about it. If the patterns inside are anything like the 16 free ones on the LB Web site, it should be a great magazine!!!

[Nay65]

I found it at Barnes and Noble today. Some nice things in it.

[Guest gramhouse]

I got my issue at Wegmans (grocery store) Has some very nice patterns in it.:yay2

[mythunderbird]

[Guest PaisleyAngel]

I found mine at Walmart this weekend. Very nice patterns! I love the Lily Chen ice cream sweater. I may try that one out for me!

[Tiffany]

I got mine today at Target. I found the Woman's Day in their magazine section and while in line to check out I saw in their racks around the register CROCHET. Ah, the joys of leaving a store with two never before seen crochet magazines. :cloud9

I had found this at Barnes and Noble on Saturday, but had to wait until today to buy a copy! (Didn't have enough cash on me, no ATM card or blank checks! Had to wait to hit the credit union for some cash... LOL)

 

I <img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/rowofhearts.gif" /> that car coat! I picked up a copy for a coworker as well, and that was the first thing she said that she would make out! LOL I also love the strawberry sweater with matching hat for a "baby" girl. Too cute!!!

[Donna]

I found it at Books-A-Million yesterday.

[Tiffany]

It's the same magazine. All you can see from a distance is "crochet". )

[pfirsch]

Would somebody be willing to pick me up a copy and send it to me? I will pay shipping and the cost of the magazine, of course.

 

*I'm putting this everywhere because I want to see the magazines, too!*

[RebeccaVelasquez]

i finally found this at my hastings last night.

 

sure josie. i won't be able to do it until tomorrow, so if someone else is quicker.....

 

but i'd be glad to it's a really good one. there are 3 (maybe 4) jacket patterns that are really great---and i'm rather picky 8o

[threeolivemartini]

I got mine at JoAnn's today ... so i wouldnt feel left out !!!LOL

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Oh no more sneaking magazines in the house Soon I'm going to need a room just for my yarn and magazines !!

[Deb]

I bought mine yesterday at Target. Wow!

 

There are at least 20 things in here that I want to do.

 

In fact, I am working on that BEAR right now. :nana

[woolandflax]

I'm still waiting impatiently for mine, the only crochet mag in our whole stinkin walmart supercenter is Interweave Crochet which I've already bought. I know I like the blue hooded jacket on the cover, LB Colorwaves I think. I would adore wearing that!! :)h

 

~Rebecca~

[Julie]

Rebecca, drop me an email, I'm happy to pick one up for you if you like. Oddly enough I can find them just about everywhere right now.

[woolandflax]

Julie, check your email. :wave

 

Thanks!!!

Is anyone going to try the sheep in there?

I've never done a stuffed animal before and I'm scared <img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/chicken.gif" />

 

I was thinking a little version would be adorable. If I wanted to be masochistic, could I follow the same directions, but use thread and a steel hook???

[Tiffany]

I'm working on the lamb right now, Holly. ) This is my first time at a stuff animal also. I'm using the Jiffy Fisherman that it calls for and the mohair look really gives it an adorable sheepy/furry look. I've been surprised at how easy the pattern is to follow and how quickly it's working up. I'm almost through with the body and if I didn't wander between projects, I would probably be done with the crocheting (not assembling) by now. I bet that with a little patience you could make it with a smaller hook and thread.

 

This is the only photo I have of it - it's on the left -

[HollyM]

Cool!

Thanks! It's looking great so far <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/clap.gif" />

 

The other crazy idea I had was to make it with real wool and full it, but then I figured it might not shrink the right ways.

[Tiffany]

Your welcome and thanks, Holly!

 

I don't know how the bobbles would look fulled, but it might be worth swatching and trying out. :thinking1 My greatest fear is doing the embroidery work for the eyes. I don't understand the stitches they're describing. :thinking2 I should be able to find stitch instructions somewhere on the internet though. :computer
