Interweave Crochet Spring 2010

The Spring 2010 issue of Interweave Crochet is here.

In this issue, there are special focus on shells. In Beyond the Basics, Doris Chan explains the structure of shell patterns and how garments are shaped with shells. There are seven patterns featuring shells, including a tunic by Robyn Chachula, a vest by Tracy St. John and a fabulous mother-daughter duo by Doris Chan.

There are also two Tunisian shawls and several great season-spanning cardigans, plus four mod projects for the home. Learn more about Kristin Omdahl’s designs in our profile and work her clever linked-motif shawl.

In the Craftivism column, Betsy Greer explores blanket charities. And Interweave Crochet launchs their year-long Chain Reaction Afghan Project, which brings together the work of established designers and reader designers (that could be you!) in a single project that will be auctioned for charity.

Interweave Crochet is one of the best sources for innovative crochet patterns—with diagrams, illustrations, and clear instructions—as well as news, tips, and insightful articles. Everyone from beginning to advanced crocheters will find something that inspires.
