I subscribe to Crochet! Magazine and this Interweave crochet publication is another of my favorite crochet magazines. It has the "quick & simple" project, but also lovely and imaginative patterns--check it out at your local bookstore or go their website: http://www.interweavecrochet.com/ to get info and check out their free pattterns. Many of the patterns are of the vintage patterns modernized vein. I highly recommend this magazine for yourself or as a gift for that special person that loves crochet.

I am young and rather picky, but I can always find something to please my eye and needle wtih this magazine. The clothing patterns don't look hideous and boxy. I think that Interweave does a good job with it's offerings. I also like "Crochet Today!" by Future Publications. I think that between the both of them I always have more that I want to do than I have time for. IC is a magazine with a focus on patterns with a classic, but trendy and modern appeal. CT! is a fun look at the possibilities of crochet (such as, amigurumi)and an updated twist on older patterns with modern appeal. The two together give me so much to do that I never complete it all, but I love to look. CT! has more small scale projects and IC has a larger selection of non-craft items.

I recommend this magazine 100%. Also the knitting version. I also advise that this product is better to subscribe going directly through their web site, you'll get a better price offer, and even though this is on special with Amazon (30% off today when I'm writing this review), when I subscribed in the web site, I got my first issue in about three weeks after subscribing.

Interweave Magazine is a great magazine for crocheters who love to crochet clothing and to see and read about the latest out there for crochet. Interweave brings many different types of designer patterns. The magazine is a must have for budding crochet designers and those who love to make clothing.

Interweave, in general, has high quality magaiznes and their Crochet magazine is no exception! Each issue contains at least a dozen projects. And I think their projects are prettier/trendier than those I find in other crochet magazines that I have owned. They have projects for women, children and even men. (Although, the vast majority of of projects are for women.)

I am sure the product is fine as it was requested as a Christmas gift; however, to order a subscription as a gift for someone else via Amazon is very difficult. It took 2 phone calls after the order to get the addressee correct (or I hope correct as the subscription has yet to begin).
