New fall magazines
Two of my fave mags have just arrived. Interweave's Crochet Fall 2007 with so many patterns, you won't know what to start first. Interweave is the best selling mag in the world and for good reason. Interweave Crochet celebrates its first quarterly issue with cozy, feminine designs for fall. With a focus on lace and detail on the one hand, and simplicity on the other, these patterns are sure to turn your mind to outfitting yourself and those you love for the cooler seasons. Also, an exploration of felting crochet crosses over into projects from wraps to bags to a car coat. Plus, Doris Chan's design MO (modus operandi) is brought to light in our designer profile, and the current resurgence of crochet is interpreted in the light of the craft's last heyday in the 1970s.
The other is SPIN OFF for Fall 2007. This features SOCKS. Wait till you see the Green Lake Socks, oh.my.word- they are beautifull! Fall 2007
