New Interweave Crochet

[Sylviaf]

I was in a yarn shop I don't visit very often today and it was in. (Gene Ann's in Barrington, for those who live in my area.) As usual, it is just wonderful. I wouldn't mind seeing a new one of these every month!

[luckybmr]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Oh where Oh where are the copies in OHIO! We get everything so much later. I can't wait!

[aussiecrocheter]

Well................try being in Australia, it's even later!!!!!!!!!! lol.

I stopped by Barnes & Nobles twice this week, but it hasn't arrived here yet either. Oh, the agony of having to wait for what looks to be a pretty nice issue!! Sneak peek is here in case anyone hasn't seen this yet.

[Jjenjen]

Aussiecrocheter , I can not find interweave crochet anywhere up here in Nsw .Where do you get your copies from?

[shebear]

It's not supposed to be on the shelves until September 12 and you can bet it will be there at B&N cause Crochet Today showed up on it's due date.

 

The countdown begins......

I was bad, I ordered both issues (click on back issues and you will see a 2005 issue & Spring 2006 I ordered both) There is a link to pay for the Fall 2006 issue ($7.99 USD like all the other issues) but it causes multiple run time errors on my browser and I have to shut that page down) Evidently this is an annual publication). I bought both via PayPal. Check Yarn Ducks link in post 4 of this thread and it will bring you to IC's main page.

Jjenjen, the first few I got through the Interweave site on the net, but the last one I got at a local newsagency. So it might be worth asking about it at your local newsagent!!!!

[princsstrish]

Just checked out the preview and have to say.......

 

 

WHAT?!?!?! UGH.. YUCK!!

 

I am SO not impressed with this one. I guess I'm to traditional. Did you see that corset belt? or the "waistcoat"?

 

Who wears stuff like that?

Thanks Wendy , will go up first thing in the morning and see about it . I was thinking of ordering from the net but figured newsagents would be a first stop .

I like the waist coat. I thought that was cute. I printed the accessories too. Don't know if I'd wear some of the stuff. The coreset is stupid, but I like a lot of the rest, especially some of the skirts.

Actually I think I'll like this issue. Out of all that's out there, I have only bought one the last one. This one has a few nice sweaters/coats in it. Even the one hat is cute although I'll probably never make it.

I agree there's a couple things in it that I personally think are ugly which do include the corset belt and the waistcoat. But like with all magazines you have to take some bad with the good.

[shebear]

Actually I think the Lily Chin jacket and the Cinnabar coat are great. Much less frumpy than most modest patterns and not so wacked out as some of the newest ones. Go Lily Go!

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

I really like alot of the projects

[Twinnish]

I like this one better than the previous two and will actually buy it. In fact, I'm going out right now!

[Jjenjen]

I am interested in Dread Pirate Sam . My partner is also know as Pirate Poppy by our grandkids. And he has a birthday coming up soon , and like so many have said before , finding patterns for males is hard .

[**Ann**]

I got mine at my LYS this week and I was really excited to see a variety of patterns. I really like it except for the wild retro long open duster thing...yikes.

But man-$8 is soooo expensive for a magazine when you can get books for $10. But hey, I agree that you do get quite a few patterns so obviously I'm not whining too much since I bought it!

[Twinnish]

I got mine last night at B&N. AC Moore told me that they didn't have it yet. I started a swatch for the Cinnabar Coat, to see how the stitch would look. It calls for working into a slip stitch, which had me curious, because slip stitches don't seem like they would be easy to work into. But the yarn called for is bulky and worked with a k hook, so slipping the hook into the sl st isn't as tough as it sounds.

 

I'm pretty happy with the mag. I really enjoyed the editorial by Kim Werker (of Crochetme) in the back. I completed the survey at Interweave's crochet page and commented that I would subscribe if they offered it.

[OneCraftySAHM]

Oh my! I just got a chance to check out this thread! I LOVE the Woodstock Duster! Is anyone making this? I've gotten find this magazine! Thanks for the link!

 

[OneCraftySAHM]

Oh and p.s. I am totally digging the Waist Coat! LOL! I just think it's funny how everyone has such different tastes! That's what makes the world go round I guess, LOL!

Oh I am so totally with you on the Corset Belt. However in all fairness I must say they have it backwards and it will take A LOT of yarn to make that thing do anything for me. (Yes, I know it is for fashion and not for binding ones tummy.) I am not fat however I am not skinny either and that would make me look HUGH! I guess it is a style for very slender, ladies.

This issue is much better than the premiere issue of Crochet Today-

i purchased it at stix and sttitches in montclair-one of my favorite lys

 

there is no comparison of this magazine to others-it helps in giving crochet a better image

[funkyreporter]

I had to write them because I can't remember if I subscribed or not:think but I haven't received it...

[christinacoghill]

I am planning on doing the woodstock duster, and if I can figure out how to make the waistcoat a big larger (for my big chest) I may make that one too. I have foudn that the more I look at this magazine and the earlier editions the more stuff I find that I love

[lulubird6]

I picked mine up yesterday at my LYS. I actually wanted Crochet Today too, but alas, the store is predominantly knitting. I was disappointed because one of the two patterns I picked it up for calls for knitting and I can't knit. (sniff)
