No that's not why I decided to get it...

Okay maybe a little.

Love the shawl!

 

I finally got mine. I have to remember my Micheal's has them. They had 2 left on Saturday:eek. And I can use the coupons on them (did last time with the 50% off highest price item, which it was).

I haven't seen the actual mag, but looking on the website I like the coverup & the bedspread. I sure wouldn't make the spread in TLC Cotton Plus though. I tried that for a top & the plies are super-loose & pull apart very easily. A spread wouldn't hold up long in this yarn. I didn't care for most of the rest. I'm not a nautical person either.

 

We don't have anywhere to buy mags in town anymore that I know of. Beverly's Fabric used to carry them but stopped. I just don't understand why. They have a huge yarn section & tons of people come in wearing crocheted hats, purses & garments. They do carry books, but lots more knitting, scrapbooking, etc than crocheting.... I'll have to make a run to Borders. They were carrying crochet mags, but who knows anymore? We just don't get our do anywhere really!!!

I don't subcribe and can't find it anywere local but I did see it on their website and I loved what I saw. My sister would love that lobster pillow and the whale afghan is so cute. The childrens wearables I would probably make along with the jewelry my sister likes funky peices.

I saw a few things I liked in it, I've made the pineapple shirt and may try the whale afghan in time, when I have someone to give it to.

 

I'm usually disappointed in the jewelry patterns, as they seem a bit gaudy... Oh well, I still love the magazine.

My daughter said that was the ugliest jewelry she had ever seen (she is 19). I loved the nautical purse, which I made right away and have been carrying most of the summer.

I didn't like this issue at first but have found that I can't put it down. I have two WIPs from this issue - the bedspread made of six-sided pieces ( a zillion of them! ) I'm making in tan Simply Soft and it is very pretty. Also, the kid-sized afghan made of various circles in the end of the magazine I'm attempting in blues and browns. Very cute, although it will be small. May expand the size. I wasn't crazy about the nautical theme either, but I think a couple things could be modified in color, etc.
