Where do you find your magazines? June 12
I’m sometimes asked where to find Craft, Interweave Crochet, Crochet Today, etc. I’ve seen Craft in bookstores, Barnes & Noble and Borders. I’ve seen Interweave Crochet as well as Crochet Today in a local Ralph’s Grocery store magazine aisle. I’ve also seen both at Barnes and Noble. I’ve found Interweave Crochet in plenty of local yarn stores.
I’ve yet to see Crochet Today in a LYS, which I think is a shame. I assume it’s because the magazine features Coats and Clark yarns. If you want it in your LYS, work up something from the mag in yarn you bought at the store and then bring it in to show off the result of mixing the store’s yarn with the pattern from the mag. LYS owners tend to listen to their customers. If you show them there’s something good they’re missing (something that helps sell their yarn!), they usually listen.
More thoughts on encouraging the crochet in the local “knitting” store later…
