Crochet Magazine from Vogue

Vogue have brought out a crochet magazine. Apparently the last one that they published 18 yrs ago was a bit of a flop so they haven't bothered again until now.With the upsurge of interest in crochet I think that this time they have chosen the right time to launch this magazine.

I was going to photograph my copy for the blog but having read this blog Crochetime she has done the job for me. I am excited as an online friend of mine has been interviewed for this issue and there is a 2 page spread on her work. As most of you know I have long been a fan of Babukatorium as I just love her use of colour in her designs.

I don't have much to post about today as the crochet that I started last night in the grey silky Ice Yarns was so stretchy when I had crocheted a ball that I decided that it would stretch out far too large for my petite friend Julie. I unpicked it this afternoon and am going for a fresh start tonight. The yarn has a lovely silky feel to it but is quite fine so doesn't have a lot of 'body' to it. It will drape beautifully when it is finished so I am aiming for a slightly too small size for my friend.

I have been Ravelry browsing. They have some fantastic free patterns on there but boy does it gobble up the  hours. I go for a 10 minute browse and am still on there 2 hours later! It's the same whenever I visit the Garnstudio Drops site. Theyadd so many new crochet and knitting patterns each month and I simply just have to have a quick browse on there too. I can start looking on the PC whilst eating my breakfast and then look at the clock and it's lunchtime already. No wonder that my crochet time has dwindled. I am going to have to place a limit on my pattern browsing.
