My issue finally arrived in the mail yesterday. What a bummer to know that it’s been on the shelves at just about every store I’ve walked in that carry magazines for about three weeks now. A call was made to the company about the late issue, with which the reply came “we’ll send another one”. I wonder if this is the “other one” or the first one that should have been here weeks ago. Anyway…
There’s several patterns in this issue I want to try. I love the Butterfly Blankie, which I want to make for myself, even if it is meant for a kid. I love butterflies, and I just think this would be a fun blanket to have around the house. I’m going to try my hand at the Crochet Coasters, too. I’ve never done anything with resin, but I’ve wanted to, so this will be a good project to start with. And finally, I want to make a Rosebud Tote. It’s done in tunisian crochet–a technique I haven’t yet attempted. There seems to be a good tutorial in the magazine for it, and I have a couple of books that touch on the subject, so this is definitely on my ever-growing list of things to make.
I just wish my hands could crochet a little faster. That list just keeps growing and growing and growing…
Edit: The issue I got yesterday was the first issue; the issue I got today was the make up issue for not receiving the first one. Yes, now I have two…
That’s actually quite funny. I can’t help wondering if they were sending you a new copy because they thought the first had got lost in the mail, or just to make up for the lateness, in which case they would know you would eventually have two.
Yeah, I know, that makes no sense, but it was funny in my mind, for some reason.
You’d think they’d want to get it right the first time to save sending out a “free” additional copy with postage and such, huh?
