Fabulous Russian Crochet Designs Online 4 Free!
Duplet magazine has incredible stuff, a lot of it such that you can take the principle and run with it. This gal has made umpteen issues available; the URL I'll give provides thumbs for each separate issue. What I do is click on each thumb and have it open in a new WINDOW, then I go to that page, and click on whatever thumb appeals to me, or else, I go to the bottom of the page and click on "p.2" or "p.3," etc. Once you find an image you want to save or just view larger, you click on that image and it will bring it up larger: you can then go to the bottom right corner of the image and make it huge by clicking on the largest resolution there (in blue letters). This is where I've gotten about 90% of my butterfly designs from.

You'n me both, Tink: a lot of the explanations for some of the complicated techniques (of Duplet) are in Russian. Now, sometimes, on some webpages (if it's not an scan of a magazine page, but an actual text page), you can copy and paste the text into google translate---although google's not up on crochet terminology and produces a lot of hilarious garbledygook, LMTO!---but with an image, you're stuck. Though there are some Russian speaking crocheters at the "Excuse Me" group at Ravelry.

You are a wealthy woman, then, Larisa, because those magazines are dynamite! I am sooooo jazzed to be able to access so many of them online: it's like an advents calendar each time I hit another really fabulous page of goodies.

Yah, Duplet editors seem to have a predilection for Brugges: there're also some Brugges butterflies in one issue, but I couldn't figure out how to do the curves in Brugges, so that one's just sitting on the back burner.

Look at their Irish style patterns. It s incredible nice
