Crochet March 2008

[Tampa Doll]

I just got my copy of Crochet March 2008 and It is full of some interesting patterns.

They have a doily that I have been trying to figure out how to do and that is use more than one picture like a graph gahn. There is a beautiful rose in the middle.

Also for those of you who have cats, there is a bed that looks like a mouse. I showed it to dh and said I would like to try and make it in thread. He said good idea, then I can rest my computer mouse in it when not in use. So guess what is going on my to do list.

March? I didn't get me February yet!! Maybe it's at home and I just have to look for it. LOL

I just got mine yesterday. The cat bed was cute, but seemed to take a lot of yarn (our cats are perfectly happy with the fleece covered pillows I can sew for them in 15 minutes). I loved the lacy scarf, so that went on my to-do list. The dress is gorgeous, but I could never wear it and there is also a beautiful sweater.

I saw this issue over at Maggies Crochet and it does look nice. I think I may get this issue to. Usually I don't like this magazine too much (too trendy, yarn I don't reconize, etc.) but the last few have been pretty good.

I have the baby set and scarf on my very long list!!!

March? I didn't get me February yet!! Maybe it's at home and I just have to look for it. LOL

 

Its a bi-monthly publication. No February issue. Theres a January, and a March. They just mail them really early.

Hmmm...I haven't gotten mine yet. I paid online, and they're still sending me stuff in the mail stating that I haven't paid (but that could have been a cross-communication...i.e, I paid right as they sent it out...)

[Dare2BDifferent]

I still haven't gotten mine in the mail. I'm dying to see the pattern for the cover project. It looks beautiful (translated: I've got to make that!!!).

[Cherokee2]

The issues are combined... It would be Jan/Feb, then March/April, etc.

I loved this most recent issue. I have to make that cat bed! Actually, I've got to add all of those projects to my ever-growing to-do list. After we have a family funeral, I'm going to the yarn store!

[esiepiela]

The baby set is on my very long to do list...I don't know if its going to get done this year...LOL.

To tell you the truth i'm not that impressed with patterns... except for the baby sweater and hat that I might make...

I subscribed a long time ago and then cancelled after first issue...Maybe I'm too picky but I don't like this magazine...My favorite is crochet today, it's more my "style".

[stitchgirl]

I really like this issue of Crochet too. In fact I think the last several issues have been really good. When I first subscribed a couple of years ago I wasn't that impressed with it, but I think it has improved. There are some out there patterns, but I guess they try to appeal to everyone.

I just picked up a copy last week at the book store - I really liked the peaches & pistachio wrap that was in there!! I'm not a wrap or shawl kinda gal, but that just looks sooooo warm. LLike a stylish blanket wrapped around you!!

I thought about doing it in blues - like denim hues. It calls for a total of 1400 yds of chunky (5) yarn. I have 5 skeins (310 yds ea) of RH Symphony in charcoal, but don't know if I'll get the guage right for sizing. Guess I could just add another round to the grannies and a few extra DC rows in the striped section?? Thought about coordinating with a pink or blue?? or winter white??
