We're all about texture in the Winter issue. If you haven't tried
Tunisian crochet yet, our special focus will get you started with the basics,
then you can develop your skills with four projects. Learn about the history of
this interesting fusion of knit and crochet, and learn the best way to seam this
fabric. Plus read a profile of a Tunisian technician who develops new stitches.
Other projects explore more texture: faux cables, spike stitch, bobbles. In Yarn
Spotlight, see how the same afghan motif appears in six different yarns. For immediate
gratification, try some of the projects in our Winter Accessories section. Betsy
Greer introduces you to a charity that looks for handmade toys, and Toni Rexroat
gets you started with an amigurumi Frog Prince. In all, 21 projects will keep
you cozy and crocheting through the season!
