As Seen in Crochetvolution....

Have you visited Crochetvolution.com? It's a beautiful online crochet magazine, published quarterly (and free, which makes it even better!). Each issue offers patterns, interviews, helpful or thought-provoking articles, and designer spotlights.

Mrs. M likes Crochetvolution

Here are just a few samples from the Winter 2012 issue:

"To the Point" shawl
by Cheri McEwen

Acacia Cowl and Fingerless Gloves
by Sarah Jane

Color Blend Stole
by Aparna Rolfe

and...

Frost Line Mittens Beaded Bookmark
by Mrs. Micawber (ahem)

My Frost Line Mittens are quick to make, and will hone your Slip Stitch Crochet skills. Beaded on both sides, they make a wonderful bookmark, ornament, or gift topper. The sample pair was made with Patons Grace; Planet Penny Cotton Club would also be perfect for this pattern.

More favourites from the Winter 2012 issue: an Indie Spotlight on the incredible Aoibhe Ni, and the fascinating article "5 Ways Creativity Heals Us", by Crochet Concupiscence's Kathryn Vercillo.

Hop on over to Crochetvolution and check out the Winter 2012 issue for yourself!

    Sorry, I couldn't resist, I read that so much to my little sister!
    Those tiny mittens are adorable.
    And I think I would really love that rainbow colored shawl, what wonderful talent.

    Oh, I will although I consider myself a bit of a slow learner when it comes to crochet.
    Thank you so much, and as always and ever, thank you for the visit and the lovely comments you leave.
    Hope that you have been safe from this storm. Love, E.

    Those tiny mittens book mark are just so sweet - it makes me want to make them immediately. I just love little friendly projects like these. They would make great gifts too to go with a book! I love all the other images too and will go and visit that crochet magazine you give the link for. Thank you!
    Have a lovely Sunday!

    Nice mitts! I followed the link (there's a missing "t" in the link address by the way) and had a little look at the site. Some of the shawls are very pretty, though I need to finish the one I'm on first before starting any more...

      Thanks for catching the typo, Anne! (Late-night post writing - or perhaps age - yes, those are good excuses.) :)

      Let me know how they work for you - slip stitch crochet on this tiny scale can be rather nerve-wracking. :)

    Your mitten bookmark is so funky! It reminds me of the little mittens that my mother always made me wear when I was a little girl. Must have a look at the site. Thanks for the link.

      Getting inked - sounds like a tattoo! This is an online magazine - would that be virtual ink? :)

      Thanks, Deb.
