I went shopping...!!!

[Deb]

I had a Barnes and Noble gift certificate burning a hole in my pocket...

So I went and bought myself the latest issues of Crochet! and Crochet Fantasy magazines. Wonderful!

AND, I bought the Vogue Knitting Crocheted Scarves mini book. Oh! the lucious patterns in this book would make the strongest crocheter drool. (even Rachel... who only does thread :rofl )

I see some sleepless nights in my future... thinking about things I've seen in these publications. :wha

[shelbyro]

OOh, I am jealous of the gift certificate!:rock

I have that vogue book, and LOVE it--the patterns are so cool, and different. My daughter wants me to make the "windchimes" for her (the cover scarf), but I am shuddering at the thought of joining all those pieces. :lol

michelle - my daughter asked for it too - -- and i've avoided it for the very same reason! :wha :lol


EDIT:
oops, didn't say what i came to say:blush
just a sec :coffee ahhhh, okay, i'm better :lol

GREAT choices on the books! aren't you really pleased with the fall issue of fantasy?! :read :thumbsup

I too just bought the Vogue Scarf Book two days ago and LOVE it! There are so many scarves in that book that I don't know which one to begin first... wait a minute, I have 6 other projects going on right now, hmm, always room for another eh?!<img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/oops.gif" />

[rebeccav]

jayme - why stop at 6?! go for 20!!!

(i'm on a secret mission to get everyone else in as much hot water as me :evil )
:rock

Shhh... no Rebecca no! I've got a shawl calling to me, and now sweaters and all kinds of other things. Shhhhhhh! <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/cutewink.gif" />

I'll do a count, Rebecca, of my WIPs soon. I know I've got to have near 20 projects going in different areas of my house. :D

I even bought wool today and Kool Aid to try some dying. I am such a glutton for punishment! LOL

[jennmwalsh]

I'm usually not a fan of Crochet Fantasy, but I REALLLLY liked this fall's...

I also got Magic Crochet this past week, and some of the runners and doilies are calling me...*sigh*

Why'd I have to like crafts so much? Maybe because otherwise, I'd be on the computer so much more...gotta have two obsessions to balance each other :sheepjump

[RachelG]

Okay... I just read this. I hardly ever go into this section. And Deb, all I have to say is: I don't like yarn and it's too hot to even think about scarves. But if it's the scarf book I saw the other day, the one on the cover was pretty cute. :))
