The first mag was Inside Crochet, a UK crochet magazine that has a good mix of garments, home decor and other stuff to crochet (I like a good mix!). My design is the Summer Picnic Wrap, [...]

Back when I was editing magazines in NYC, I came across the work of Kristin Nicholas, a prolific colorwork knitter, embroiderer, and illustrator.

If you’ve had your eye on Amy Butler’s new softwares collection, here’s your chance to get it for free. I have a review copy on offer, which I did install (so I could review it) but as far as I know it should still be good to go for one of you who wants to [...]

Let’s start with the magazines. First up is a new-to-me magazine called Living Crafts. The editor contacted me because they reviewed my book, and sent a few free copies my way. [...]
