Vogue Crochet.

Another new magazine has found its way to the Hillsborough Yarn Shop, this time with crocheters in mind.

The latest issue of Vogue Knitting is a special one for those who make fabric with hooks rather than needles. Vogue Crochet is full of crocheted garments and accessories, from sweaters to skirts to jewelry.

Take a closer look next time you’re in the shop.

Koigu Magazine.

Issue Three of Koigu Magazine has arrived at the shop.

Inside, you’ll find a variety of knit and crochet projects using Koigu yarns: sweaters, shawls, vests, dresses, blankets, socks.
 

Take a closer look at Koigu Magazine next time you’re perusing the latest books and magazines on the teacart. See you at the shop!

Interweave Crochet.

Another new winter magazine just settled in on the teacart, this time with a focus on crochet.

The leafy pullover on the cover of the magazine is made in Malabrigo Worsted, a favorite yarn for its plush softness. This issue has more accessories than sweaters, however. Look here for crocheted socks, mittens, and wraps.

See you at the shop.

Seamless Crochet.

Another new title from Interweave has arrived this week: Seamless Crochet, by Kristin Omdahl.

Omdahl offers up a series of crocheted motifs to be joined as they’re made, rather than sewn together after the fact. The book is also filled with projects that put this technique to good use. Have a look at some of these pretty pictures, wont you?

Find this and other new books on the teacart.

Hit the books.

We got lots of new books in this week at the Hillsborough Yarn Shop. Some of them ended up on the teacart, where they’re sure to capture attention, but not all new books are so lucky. The teacart is small, after all, and can’t show off everything at once, so some new books get tucked on the shelf with little fanfare. Here’s a round up of the newest titles available at the shop, so these books can have a proper introduction.

  • Wonderland: Modern Baby and Children’s Knitting Patterns
