Crochet Today (April/May 2007)

Crochet Today (April /May 2007) just published my bead tapestry crochet lidded basket. They asked for a southwest motif, so that was the inspiration. I hope you will give it a try!

How cool is that! :hook
I wish my issue would hurry up and get here...

[isabelbell]

Congrats!! I can't wait to see it. I've been waiting for my issue this month.

I haven't received my issue still...but their web site is finally updated to show the what's in this new issue. That basket looks great! I've never done tapestry crochet. Is it difficult?

[Carol Ventura]

If you can do single crochet, you should be able to do tapestry crochet. Please take a look at my web page for some free projects with internal tutorials to get you started. I would begin with the striped basket before moving onto pieces with beads, though.

Thanks,

[missamorphosis]

Great. I'll have to check that out. I'm experienced with beads, so not sure it would be too difficult for me.

I've done a couple of tapestry crochet projects, including the Fair Isle bag in Crochet! magazine (I think that's the right one....). I lined it, and it's a terrific project bag. The piece I'm working on is in another crochet magazine. It's beaded, but I elected not to add the beads. I'm having so much fun with it, I may try it again, and use beads!!

Carol, your blog was most helpful to me, and I love the patterns you have posted!! Thanks bunches!!

This is funny, when I was a teenager I did a tapestry crochet block of a parrot on a green background. It was OK but just cheap acrylic yarn. The funny thing is, I had never heard of or seen tapestry crochet and now I'm just finding out about it!

Thanks for mentioning you designed the basket. I saw it and though... hmm. maybe. I might try the lid to start with which kind of looks like a basket, and if I can do that, then the basket. I finally found the issue at walmart last week, they still have some left (I look for other crochet mags there, but they don't have many).

Are you allowed to post a photo? Or would that violate a copyright?

[Carol Ventura]

I tried to post a photo, but couldn't figure out how to do it!

I've never posted a photo directly here at Crochetville either. I finally figured out a couple years back how to post photos in an online album and then put a link in the message.
