Threads

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Crocheting
from: Taunton Press


This magazine is mostly aimed at making clothing/wearables and is slick with lots of great pictures. Not for everyone, but like all Tauton publications it is sophisticated and has those articles many other magazines don't cover. Often the articles will cover how designers construct clothing or how great past designers such as Coco Channel changed design, imagined color, constructed their clothing, etc. There are also many imaginative embellishments and views of great vintage clothing. Perhaps not for everyone but has its place and is a feast for the eyes.

Crochet!

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Crocheting
from: Drg Publishing


I am mostly interested crochet wearables--this magazine along with the Interweave publication Crochet are highly recommended. The patterns are for a variety of skill levels so there is a project for everyone. I like "vintage re-imagined" patterns and the 2 above mentioned magazines fit the bill. They both also have some fresh and modern patterns. Occassionally Vogue's Knit 1 and Knitting magazines have some great crochet patterns. Knit 1 being aimed at a younger, "hipper" crowd.

CRAFT: Transforming Traditional Crafts

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Crocheting
from: Oreilly Media % Heather Harmon


A lot of the reviewers here have mentioned problems with one cover story. Don't let that put you off this mag. It and its sister mag MAKE are great. They show a different look at the craft industry than you get when you look in chains like Michaels and Hobby Lobby. Craft and diy are huge and it's not all about scrapbooking and decorative painting. There are heaps of indi crafters doing great things and who, until now, have been largely hidden from mainstream consumers. CRAFT gives these people a platform to showcase their stuff - and it is great - the only pity of it is that in publicising these new takes on old crafts indi is now becoming mainstream! Go figure. Do yourself a favor and check out the magazine - there is plenty to look at and to enjoy. There ... Read More:

Crochet World

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Crocheting
from: Drg Publishing


Crochet World is more "crafty" than other crochet magazine and stays with more conservative styles in wearables. Some of the recommended yarns aren't my favorites, but you can always substitute and I sometimes re-imagine them to suit myself. If you like crochet stuffed animals, seasonal decorations, baskets, rugs, doilies, etc. this may be the magazine for you. Not my highest rated crochet magazines since I prefer more wearables and modern patterns, but this magazine has its own special niche.

Quick & Easy Crochet

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Crocheting
from: Grass Roots Publishing Co., Inc.

November 23, 2001
I somehow got on their mailing list and got sent several past due notices without ever getting a magazine. Did see the magazine and it's not something I would have ever subscribed to - very poor quality and nothing in it that the other better crochet magazines don't already have. The price is also outlandish for the black and white newspaper quality.

Interweave Crochet

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Crocheting
from: Interweave Press


I subscribe to Crochet! Magazine and this Interweave crochet publication is another of my favorite crochet magazines. It has the "quick & simple" project, but also lovely and imaginative patterns--check it out at your local bookstore or go their website: http://www.interweavecrochet.com/ to get info and check out their free pattterns. Many of the patterns are of the vintage patterns modernized vein. I highly recommend this magazine for yourself or as a gift for that special person that loves crochet.
