Interweave Crochet

Ok, friends, what do you think of that new magazine?

 

I haven't bought it or seen it other than online, but if it's any quality like Interweave Knits, love that publication, than I know it will be a hit! Also, here we are in, not exactly SMALL town of San Diego, and I can't find it in my travels to Target, WM, Joanns, Micheals, even a bookstore in a mall......I guess I'll try Border Books or ...what's that other one....drats can't think right now! the one with the coffee shop in it AH! Barnes & Noble...my daughter just remembered for me!.... anyway, I know I can get it online, but who doesn't like 'feeling' and looking at a magazine these days? They sure aren't getting any cheaper at $6.99 a pop! (need a smiley with the change coming out of the pocket!)

Whoops! Sorry to have to correct, but it's a good thing. Donna already bought the new issue, and <a href="http://www.yarntomato.com/archives/2004_08_01_ytarchive.html#109345544676947914" target="_new">blogged</a> about it, too. <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/clap.gif" /> Go forth and find the magazine!!! <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/ura1.gif" />

They charged cover price, $7.99. My LYS doesn't have a web site or anything but I could check with them. You can also pre-order from Interweave here, and they will not charge your credit card until the mag is shipped to you. It is $7.99 there as well, but you probably would not receive until some time around Sept 7--but that is only 12 days away (:wha how did it get to be Sept already?!!).

rebeccav, good idea! :thumbsup

 

pfirsch, I guess I am! :blush The crazy thing is, I hadn't even been thinking about it. I figured I'd get it when it came in to Barnes and Noble or whatever. I had thought about pre-ordering from the site, but I procrastinated about it. Sorry to hear I won't get to meet you in Sept! :cry

Eek! No worries about the correction, Julie. I'm so psyched that it's out already! I pre-ordered it, but I get things late up here in the great north. I'm psyched to hear what you all think of it.

 

Re: whether they'll get the picture that we need better crochet magazines, I have a feeling they're piloting. Interweave already publishes about a half dozen magazines; my guess is that they'll track sales of this issue to see if it may be viable as a stand-alone. Let's cross our fingers, eh?

IF I can find it here, I'll buy up a couple to send to folks who can't find it. My Wal-Mart did have the new Vogue Knitting mag today, the fall issue. Not sure how long it had been out, but was glad to see it as sign they were at least moderately current. Also a Crochet Fantasy magazine, the first time they've had one of those.

I just bought my copy today at my lys and was really impressed. It's the first crochet mag I've seen that has actually had numerous things I'd consider wearing. Normally I glance through the crochet magazines and see maybe one thing I'd consider making (and generally with numerous changes). I really hope that Interweave continues with this.

WOW! I'm glad I brought the subject up :lol

 

thanks for all the input everyone.....it just baffles me at times a city of this quality and size is lacking on these things! (also considering there is one (yes that is 1) yarn shop! (other than the others I mentioned way above!) Thanks for the input on the dates...I will start looking so yarn shops must of put advanced orders...I know I can order it at the website I get the interweave knits and love it, but I just wanted to look at it first. Plus if WM can get it then it's the 20% off....drats I'm so darn cheap!..opps I mean frugal.:sheep

I have not been able to find this anywhere in Rochester, NY--I have tried borders, barnes and noble, joannes, michaels, etc.... I refuse to order it online and pay shipping.

I bought my copy last night at Wal-Mart. I had to stop there after going to the state fair, since I broke my only H-hook while working on my daughter's poncho. I refused to write a check for a dollar and some change, so I cruised over to the magazine rack, and there it was!!! There's a lot of things that I would love to make, and I definitely want to try the tapestry crochet!! My only problem is that they used a lot of yarns in their patterns that I can't get locally. <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/crying.gif" /> I may have to take the credit card out of the freezer now...
