BERNE, Ind.--Crochet! magazine is the official magazine of the Crochet Guild of America and is a primary source for today’s latest crochet trends. The January 2008 issue includes 28 projects that highlight the newest yarns and techniques from today’s fashion-conscious crochet designers.

Crochet! premiered in 2002 as a leading source for the most current in crochet news,  offering a range of up-to-date patterns at all skill levels. The magazine was revamped in January 2006 with an updated 100-page layout that is unlike any other crochet magazine on the market.

In addition to traditional projects, such as doilies, hats, sweaters and scarves, there are purses, skirts, jackets and beaded jewelry made with eye-catching yarns. There are also detailed instructions for new crochet techniques and informative how-to articles that add an educational element.

“Every issue of Crochet! features fabulous crochet designs for men, women and children, with instructions to take crocheters step-by-step through the project,” said Carol Alexander, editor. “And there is always a wide variety of easy to intermediate patterns for creating the latest in crochet wearables and home decorating items.”

The January issue features a black-and-white embroidered jacket, a lined shearling jacket, his and her sweaters, an assortment of carrying bags, a variety of crocheted baby items and a collection of beaded crochet accessories.

Crochet! is published six times a year by DRG, an 80-year-old family business headquartered in Berne. DRG has two major business divisions—one in magazine and book publishing and consumer catalogs, and the other in subscription and product fulfillment.

Crochet! is available on newsstands, in needlecraft shops or from the magazine Web site at CrochetMagazine.com.
