I managed to track down a copy of America’s favorite, Crochet World Magazine (Summer 2026 issue), and it was a bit of a mission to find it here in the UK! In this video, we’re diving into: 🇺🇸 Patriotic Projects: Exploring the red, white, and blue designs that work just as well for the Union Jack as they do for the Stars and Stripes! 👗 Summer Style: Looking at that gorgeous square-based summer top from the cover—is it really intermediate, or could a beginner tackle it? 🧩 Unique Patterns: From "fishy" coasters and lily pad pot holders to some truly stunning 3D sunflower afghans. 🧶 Magazine Musings: My honest thoughts on the thin paper quality vs. the incredible variety of patterns we don't often see in our UK magazines. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this one—do you track down international magazines, or do you stick to our local favorites? Let me know in the comments!
