The latest issue of Crochet Today! Magazine arrived in my mailbox today. Had to hustle all afternoon, chasing computer problems and running weekend errands til I could sit down to page through it. Several really good projects I wanted to alert you to.
First is a really pretty skirt worked in a shell stitch. The pattern is very attractive and the profile fo the skirt would look good on most body types. I also love the cute little Paint-by-Number dress which is an update of an old pattern. Any toddler girl would look extra cute in this little number. There’s a lovely Just Married Shawl which is worked in Hairpin Lace.
There are a bunch of kiddie projects for those who need them and a couple of afghans. I love the Milky Way Blankie which is awash in stars.
Three different patterns are shown which I’d be tempted to pull together using the same yarn – the Champs Elise Beret, Mademoiselle Scarf, and Cafe Wristlers. See what you think!
All in all, there are 23 patterns which is a good number for a magazine these days.
I have mixed feeling about Crochet Today. Great beginner patterns, but not being a beginner, sometimes things seem a little simplistic to me.
I agree Jennifer. I like more challenging patterns!
Thanks for the tip, always looking for new patterns.

can anyone share with me the dress pattern from this issue ,, it is called paint by numbers ..
There is little information, but plenty of pictures, of this dress online. You’ll probably have to purchase the original magazine in which it was published to obtain the pattern.
