Stitch Whimsy

I frogged that scarf I just posted about. I wanted the yarn for something else, what I don’t know yet. I seem to be at an impass. I need a heap of yarn to make some of the things I want to make, but I have not gotten to the store to get said yarn. What am I doing while I wait? I decided to try out some free samples of magazines.

I got Creative Knitting, Crochet World, and Interweave Crochet to start out with. Just testing the magazine waters to see if there are any that speak to me. I might start a subscription to one of them. I have not had a chance to really read through them yet. I just got the first two in the mail today. They are all comparable in price as far as subscriptions go, so it won’t be a choice made solely on finances.

Interweave Crochet has a heap of patterns and ideas for crochet projects. I really like the layout. It reminds me of popular women’s magazines. There are a lot of intriguing ads in there, too. Lovely bright pictures accompany the pattern instructions. Very easy to follow. I see a shrug I want to try and make soon.

I will let you know what I think about the other magazines as soon as I have had a chance to really get into them.
