Yesterday I popped into town and brought this...
The magazine is published by the same lovely people who bring us the monthly Inside Crochet.
In the shop I didn't have time to flick though the magazine, so when I got home, settled down with a cup of tea, I sat down to a treat. The magazine is great. I would recommend it. In fact - it looks like that is what I am doing at this very moment in time.
There are some brilliant patterns in there. Ok - I should quantify: given that I have told you about my dislike of patterns: there are some brilliant designs inside the magazine. A good mixture of clothing, toys, accessorise and things for the home.
The magazine brings together designs from the brilliant Irene Strange she has kindly included Noodle the Elephant which I made a few weeks ago . There are also designs by the amazing Melody Griffiths. And the equally fabulous Lesley Stanfield. And many many more!
The only down side to the magazine is, if you avidly buy Inside Crochet, there is some repeat designs and interviews. However, if you are like me: this is good news: some of the designs that are in The Crochet Collection feature in copies of the magazine which are now out of print.
There are some terrific things in this magazine. Well worth the money.
The only major issue with the magazine is where to start. As ever so much crochet, so little time!
Yes, I know what you mean. You go in looking for the magazine and come out with a load of others that you didn't know you needed! Or at least I do! Let me know if you find the next copy: and I will do the same!
