I love this magazine, I crochet, and its great to find that this art is still alive and going strong.Whats nice about this magazine is that they have pictures as well as detailed directions of each pattern they show.From the beginner to the experienced , you can find a pattern to delight you. Also, whats great is the patterns never go out of style. I recommend not only this magazine but also, Crochet Fantasy, and Crochet With Heart. It would be great to see more generations learning crafts from the many cultures, so that they do not become a dying art, but can bring magic and beauty into our hearts.
