1976 Mon Tricot Knit and Crochet

My kind friend Caroline recently brought a neat piece of crochet history with her to my regular Sunday stitching group. It's a June 1976 issue of Knit and Crochet Magazine. She gave it to me to add to my collection.

It's awesome how what goes around comes back around again. The projects and illustrations in the magazine are so wonderfully 70s. Vintage crochet bikinis are featured in this magazine, yet crochet bikinis have come back in style now in 2016.

So cute! What other vintage crochet projects have you seen come back in style recently?

The Rise of Digital Crochet Magazines

Crochet magazines have long been an important part of the subculture. With patterns, articles, and more they bring connection and enrichment to crocheters worldwide. Some of my favorite crochet magazines are Crochet!, Crochet World, and Interweave Crochet.

Since I am part of Generation Y / the Millennial Generation I have never really known a world without computers or the internet. The rise of technology has brought new avenues for distribution of crochet media. Crochet blogs, websites, videos, podcasts, and more have exploded all over the internet. Recently a new craze has been added to that list: Digital crochet magazines. The rise of digital crochet magazines makes a lot of sense in a lot of ways, especially given the popularity of tablets like iPad. Most of the large traditional publishers have followed suit by providing their own digital versions of their normal print magazines. However, today I'd like to provide you with a short list of some exclusively digital crochet magazines. These magazines do not come in print versions and are only available digitally. Hopefully I have a few to show you that you haven't seen before. Check them out and see which ones you like best!
