I got a new pattern book from AA yesterday, and my first copies of two magazines I ordered from them. I like the patterns in Annie's Favorite Crochet. I am a little disappointed with Crochet World though. When I used to subscribe a few years ago, the issues were just full of patterns. Now there are a lot more full-page ads. There are still quite a few patterns, but I really expected less advertisement and more magazine content.
I finished making a thread angel bookmark today. I made up the pattern as I went along. It's being tested by my friend Karla. I'll post the pattern when she's done checking my directions for boo-boos. :o)
Juli, your camellia is so beautiful! I just love that flower! We have lots of camellia bushes down here in Metter, Georgia, too. I have none in my yard, but I am determined to dig up these gardenias in the front of our house and replace them with camellias...you are inspiring me to do just that when you show such a beautiful camellia blossom on your blog!
ReplyDeleteI love your new crochet pattern purchases. I have the hardback book myself, and I like Annie's though I don't subscribe (financial issues) and after repeated hopes with Crochet World turning out better, I have no intentions to subscribe to Crochet World. I've often been disappointed in the projects, the quality I suppose. I don't know.
But I love seeing what you got!
