Inside Crochet - I love this magazine (there are so many interesting patterns that I want to try) and I'm always looking for patterns to try all the time.

Crochet World seems to be the only magazine left that includes thread doilies. I am not interested in yarn crochet.

I like Crochet Magazine, it has easy to follow patterns and the designs are wonderful. There ads in there are great too a lot of crochet assessories I was not aware of.

Hi Janine. Do you crochet doilies? I have a few friends who crochet but no one does doilies. I learned to crochet when I was 10 on purple #10 crochet thread. The lady who taught me just said go to the store and get some bedspread thread. I was 10 purple seemed wonderful. It was except it was too dark to see. I soon became the owner of a ball of white thread. From there I proceded to crochet my first doily. I was also given as a present for learning my first crochet hook a #7 Milward and to this day I still prefer Milward to any other brand. Write back if you want to chat doilies.

Hi Arlette1013, I crochet, but have never trired to do a Dollie. My grandmother used to crochet lace on handkerchiefs. Dollies seem very tedious work, I am not sure my eyes could take it. Do you have any pictures of your work? I would love to see it.

Are you on FB? If so, my name is Arlette Theriot Cheramie. Go to my photo albums and their is one called small thread crochet. If not, send me an email address and I will send them to you. I am pretty proud of my doilies. A friend of mine who very new age thinks they look like mandelas. Sorry your eyes are not strong. Mine are not as good as they used to be as I used to crochet with #80 tatting thread and a #14 needle. Too much for me these days. But other than using mostly #10 and sometimes #20 or #30 thread I love creating doilies. Take care. Have a good evening.

I used to buy Decorative Crochet and Magic Crochet magazines in past. I did alot of thread but it starts to get hard on my hand so I now focus more with yarns. Right now I dont have any favourite yet.

Hi,
I love Crochet Magazine and Decorative Crochet. Crochet Magazine has some beautiful projects and I find myself wanting to create all of them!!!! They have extra projects online as well. Well worth the money.
Decorative Crochet is a beautiful magazine as well and has many of the old patterns for doilies and table runners as well as new ones. This is an excellent Magazine for those who love working with fine cottons.
