I purchased the latest two issues of Interweave Crochet Magazine at my LYS last night. I just love this magazine. There were some ads that were so appealing looking that I decided to visit the websites to see exactly what they had to offer crocheters. Here’s what I found:
This beauty if from purlbee.com, but most of their goodies seem to be knitted (boo hoo):
Joelle’s Giant Granny Square
Add this site to your faves for buttons. It takes you to two button manufacturers (they also have yarn and hooks). This set of irresistable hearts is from buttonmad.com:
buttonmad.com via accessoriesunlimitedinc.com
Hard to hold onto the one’s credit card with all these scrumptious goodies available at the touch of a key.
Elann.com offers many wonderful yarns and some free patterns (among other things). This ethereal little shawl is one of their free crochet patterns:

I never expected to find information like this through an ad in a magazine, but if you’ve ever thought of yourself as a potential crochet designer, you gotta check out this extensive article at www.crochetasylum.com:

Doesn’t hurt that they also sell, among lots of crochet ‘hardware’, these appealing hook holders – each one is unique:

Finally – for today – I’ll leave you with this sample of a Universal Yarns product. I had this stuff in my hands last night at the LYS. It’s luscious stuff. If I’d been able to see it swatched, I’d have bought several balls. I wasn’t familiar with Universal Yarns until yesterday! Glad this ad took me to their site so I’ll know what to look for at the LYS next time.

I love flipping through a magazine and bookmarking all the pages with ads. Then I can go back later on to look them up online and see what more inspiration I can get. What a great idea to blog about your faves, too! Thanks!
