    I'm keeping a lookout for this too,no luck here yet though, I only want the first couple of issues so it's not worth subscribing

    You can cancel subscription at any time, when you subscribe there are great free gifts with first few editions, well worth it IMO.. :)

  • I bought it today, I thought it was well worth the 99p if it can teach me to crochet :D I did buy all of the Art of Knitting mags a few years back - and although pricey it did teach me how to knit which is what I wanted from it.
    Squares knitted for my throw ~ 90 (yes!!! I have finally finished it :rotfl: )
    Squares made for my patchwork quilt ~ 80 (only the "actual" quilting to do now :rotfl:)

    Same here - cannot find it online, there are a vast array to chose from!
  • It's called "The Art of Crochet" - got my copy today :)
  • Bought my copy in WH Smith today - looks good :)

    I got this today, it looks good, but think it would be too pricey to get the whole series.

    Thanks for the link. I searched but could not find it!!

    Don't know whether to subscribe or not. I have tried to learn to crochet in the past and have never succeeded although I can knit. I am tempted though!

    99p first issue, next is £1.99, and not sure about others. I taught myself to crochet but 99p is worth it for the yarn (25g plus 16g) and the crochet hook. A few patterns in it too.
    ETA I agree it is very basic though and have taught myself most of the stitches etc already.

    Yeah i got my copy after going to 4 newsagents !, i have to say though i dont envy anyone trying to learn with that cheapo crochet hook and the terrible yarn , ive crocheted a few things but i struggled with that yarn and hook felt really rough

    think i will get the next one for the binder then thats it

    If anyone wants to learn i suggest googleing "the art of crochet by terresa" shes fab and i learned from watching her videos
