Don’t miss out. I bought some great books during this sale last year. I honestly couldn’t tell where they were damaged. They were in great condition.

In addition to more great articles and interview, check out Dora’s Silk Drawers(LOL) and crochet patterns from other designers.

Lots of cute ruffles for little girly-girls.  This would be so cute done in all white.  Look for this in the upcoming August 2009 issue of Crochet World Magazine.

The final finishing instructions were omitted for the Gardener’s Apron from the April 2009 issue of Crochet World.

The pattern should read:

Gardener’s Apron, page 52

I’m excited to let everyone know that the pattern for my Mulled Spices Afghan is available for purchase in the Interweave Store.

Yarn Market has put together everything you need to make my Mulled Spices Afghan, from a copy of Interweave Crochet Magazine to the Berroco Comfort DK (great price!) yarn to the Tunisian hooks and needles for finishing.

Check out the Mulled Spices Afghan Bundle.

Hey, there’s a “plus-sized” model in the Spring issue of Interweave Crochet magazine. Well, she’s not REALLY plus-sized if her chest is 38″ and her hips are 42″. Shoot, I’m bigger than that! She’s more like real-sized, but plus-sized in the model world.

Thank you, Interweave!

I have a design in the Spring 09 issue of Interweave Crochet. It is the Seaside Throw.

I imagined this crochet throw as perfect for chilly days at the beach house. It reminds me of sand, ocean, starfish, netting and rope. Six separate pentagon-shaped motifs are joined together with wedge-shaped inserts to form a pentagon-shaped throw. The throw is edged with a crochet edging that resembles rope.

If you are like me, you are waiting for the preview of the Spring 09 issue of Interweave Crochet to appear soon.  In the meantime, I can show you the cover of the new issue.
