Interweave K---- Crochet 2005

[topperarnold]

Got this from the summer issue of Interweave K---- , the 2005 special crochet issue will be available on Sept. 7. I was sort of lukewarm on the first one. I swear I see better designers on the internet...wish publishers would contact them

i loved the last one.. !!!

[buggaboosmommy]

I loved the last one as well!!! I have already added a few of the items to my "wish list"....meaning I would love to make them for myself but am too busy making items for others. Can't figure that one out! lol

Can't wait for the next one

I can't wait for the next issue! I haven't made anything yet, but I've got many items on my WIM list!

I loved it too if I was a bit thinnner I'd make that beautiful brown tank top. Can't wait until the next issue.

[topperarnold]

Don't get me wrong, I liked the issue and there were lots of things I want to make. My biggest concern is my size. I'm not sure a chunk like me could get away with wispy crochet dresses etc. I really liked the cover skirt, but again, is that something a middle aged chunk can get away with?

I pre-ordered mine last week. They won't charge your card until it's shipped. I have never seen one of these.

I can't wait! The dress on the cover (at least I'm guessing it's the cover) is awesome!

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

I totally understand Sara I so want to make that tank top but right now I'd look ridiculous in it but I just love looking at the pics of the projects.

What bugged me about the original one was that all of the patterns I really liked were knit + crochet. My knitting is so awful compared to my crocheting, so I think if I made any of them, it would look like complete junk.

 

I still have high hopes for the new one!

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Uhh didn't see any pics of the new crochet issue:think I'm seeing a dress on the cover of the knit issue am I lost?

[PJ]

Alisha,

This is the dress I'm talking about...

I totally heart that dress.

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Oh now I see couldn't find that anywhere.Very pretty hope there's no knitting involved I can't knit a single stitch.

Now I do remember thinking that myself. I thought it was kind of a cop out. I felt bad for folks who couldn't knit at all

This is the cover for the 2004 special issue. I made the skirt for Hamlette, but I was a little disappointed to see that a several patterns in their crochet issue were knit/crochet both. I'm just learning how to knit, so it was completely beyond me. I think once I get a little better at knitting I'll try my hand at some of the patterns because they're gorgeous! (Especially that beautiful top with the interlocking rings!)

 

Oh, I'm heavy too and was a little sad to see that a lot of the really cute stuff was for super small sizes. Big girls like to look great too and we don't all know how to compensate to make patterns bigger.

[Tiffany]

I think that dress is in the 2004 issue. I keep looking at it longingly. It's one of those things that even if I lost weight, I'm too shapely for.

[PJ]

Ooh, if that dress is in the 2004 issue, please let me know. Is this issue still on the market?

I haven't been able to find it locally anymore, thought I saw it in March, so you may be able to find a copy.

 

However, you can order a backissue from Interweave directly. They ship fast -- I ordered it, a backissue of Spin-Off and a backissue of IK all and they arrived within a week via FedEx.

[PJ]

Ok, I did a little homework, and you guys are right; it's from the last issue. I'm glad I don't have to wait to get the pattern, but I have to wait and whittle down my stash a little before I buy any more yarn. Been splurging a little too much lately. Guess I can add the mag to my wish list though.

 

Thanks for letting me know!

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

I thought it looked like the one in the last issue but I don't like to say anything unless I'm more sure, and I was too lazy to go look for the issue
