Let’s Get Crafting
Knitting & Crochet
Issue 72

The UK’s Favourite All-In-One Mag Pack

 

This is such a brilliant idea!

Let’s Get Crafting truly makes it easy to crochet (or knit) a project – combining the yarn, the hook (plus the knitting needles) and the pattern all in one convenient package. In fact, Issue 72 includes 15 different projects you can pick from to make with your yarn and hook (or yarn and needles). Projects are included for beginners too!

The projects you can make with the Sunshine Yarn Kit included (6 balls: 1 Sky Blue, 1 Deckchair Blue, 1 Dolphin Blue, 1 Shell White, 1 Ocean Blue and 1 Sandy Yellow) are:

I also really love how Let’s Get Crafting has an All About You section. It includes letters, pictures and messages from their Crafty Community, their 3 favourite Pinterest Favs, Top of the Blogs (this month featured http://www.keepcalmandcrochetonuk.wordpress.com), Best of the Web and Tweet Pics. This section gives you tons of possible resources from the Crafting Community!

You will also find Knit School with Elaine, a new series to teach you how to knit with clear step-by-step photo tutorials. This issue addressed Casting on methods including the Two-Needle Method, Long-Tail Thumb Method, Backward Loop Method and the Cable Cast On Method. The July 24th issue included a Beginner’s Guide to Knit and Purl Stitches. There is also a 2-page spread with the knitting basics (with diagrams) for: Slip Knot, Cast On, Knit Stitch (K), Purl Stitch(P), Knit Two Together (K2TOG), Make One (M1), Cast Off, Beginning a Seam and Mattress Stitch Joining.

Crocheter’s have not been left out either. The 2 page spread for Crochet School includes crochet basics with diagrams. Beginning with a Slip Knot & Chain (CH), Magic Ring, Double Crochet (DC), Half Treble (HTR), Treble (TR), Double Crochet Two Together (DC2TOG) and Treble Two Together (TR2TOG). The knitting and crochet abbreviations have also been included in this section.

I would like to thank Elaine Bennett (Editor of Let’s Get Crafting) for sending me a sample copy of Let’s Get Crafting to review! I honestly love the concept – the yarn the hook and the needles and the patterns – all in fantastic package! This would make a fantastic gift for any Knitter, or Crocheter! I wish it was available in the stores here in Canada too! I’m sure if I saw it on the shelf at Michaels I would be picking it up each time I went to by yarn!
