MORE TEMPTING ADS

October 26, 2009 by jd wolfe

Here’s the second installation of my investigation into the ads that inhabit our favorite crochet magazines.  Ads are supposed to draw our attention.  Some of them are more tempting than others, but all of them intrigue me.  I just HAVE to type their addresses into my computer and see what’s there.  Here are some more goodies.

If you’re interested in felting, Lamb’s Pride is a really good yarn choice.  It’s a good value and comes in a dazzling array of colors.  It’s also widely available in local yarn shops.  My favorite LYS has the skeins for between $5 and $6, so quite a good price point.  This website shows all their colors:

Who among us couldn’t use this great bag for our projects?  I’ve blogged about this company before, but they’ve come out with this great bag that is new to me.  Gotta get me one of these!

Another yarn company FINALLY begins to pay attention to crochet – and does so with pizzazz.  I’m in love with this lovely car coat.  The book containing this pattern has 11 other crochet patterns.  You can see the designs at the website.

For a breather from crochet, which many of us need from time to time, how about a flower loom?  Clover has this new one, “Hana-Ami” that makes 6 different flower shapes.  Then, you crochet them together to create something special.

I still have more to share but have run out of time for today.  Come back soon to see what other tempting ads we can search out.

It’s beginner-friendly, super fun to stitch, and the final result is something you’ll want to show off on every shelf (or maybe sneak into your snack drawer for fun).
