Here's What's Inside Issue 9:
  • These two pretty floral squares are perfect for adding color and texture to your crochet projects. Page 4's Flower Granny Squares (designed by Claire Montgomerie) work individually or together for a full floral blanket—beginner+ level with stitch charts included.
  • Want to add color without the commitment of doing actual colorwork? Page 5's "Color Without Commitment" by Anna Leyzina teaches slip stitch surface crochet—chain stitches on top of finished fabric let you easily change or remove the design.
  • Need a hat and scarf set that's cozy, colorful, and beginner-friendly? Page 6's Magnus Hat and Scarf (designed by Meghan Ballmer) uses Lion Brand Scarfie Lite for textured ribbing worked directly into edges—no seaming required.
  • Think crochet's origins are boring European history? Page 7's "Crochet's Mysterious Beginnings: From Trade Routes to Tribal Traditions" explores theories—Arabia as trade center, South America's indigenous network, or tambour embroidery evolution—revealing crochet's rich, debated past.
  • Want a cardigan with bold color blocking that's surprisingly easy? Page 8's Jayus Cardigan (designed by Sandra Gutierrez) uses different-sized stripes for striking effect—beginner+ level, seamlessly top-down with raglan shoulder shaping and colorwork techniques that require minimal prep.
  • Stitch of the Month on Page 9: Single Crochet Ribbing Stitch. If you love the look and stretch of knit-style ribbing but want something faster for crochet, this stitch creates neat, vertical ribs with excellent elasticity—perfect for cuffs and waistbands.
  • Page 11's "Sandra Gutierrez's 6 Tips for Your First Crochet Colorwork Project" teaches: use simple swatches, take achievable first steps, make wise yarn choices (smooth fibers), have fun choosing colors, remember working flat isn't always easier, and stay organized with leftover yarn.
  • You work these socks starting at the toe in a spiral, before switching to rows for the heel. Page 12's Nordic Socks (designed by Vita Apala) are intermediate level, easily adjustable length, perfect for boys and girls.
  • Page 13's Stitch of the Month: Single Crochet Ribbing Stitch. Quick, rhythmic, and useful—it gives crochet projects a polished, professional finish that's still easy enough for beginners, whether you're making a ribbed scarf or adding texture to a sweater.
  • This little snail is a quick and cheerful project that's great for beginners and seasoned crocheters alike. Page 14's Mini Amigurumi Snail (designed by Julia Chiang) uses simple stitches and only a small amount of yarn.
  • Page 15: "It's Alive! Shauna Richardson's 9 Tips for Making Realistic Crochet Sculptures." Trust your instincts, start with one stitch, think in 3D, play with scale, choose yarn wisely, embrace mistakes, let personality reveal itself, plan before you start, and keep playing.
  • Peppa is a fun-loving, and sometimes mischievous, little pig. Page 16's Peppa Pig (designed by Irene Strange, provided from Crochet Peppa Pig) is beginner+ level—she's four years old, lives with Mummy and Daddy Pig, and loves jumping in muddy puddles!
  • Page 18: "Crocodiles, Crooks, and Crocheters: The Curious History of the Word 'Crochet'"The word "crochet" comes from French "little hook," which traveled into English and stuck—but trace it back and you'll find shepherds with crooked staffs and ancient Greek kroko-drilos.
  • Dear Grandma Ange returns on Page 19 with two dilemmas: What to do when you gift a baby blanket and find it stuffed in the dryer (hand-wash natural fibers, lay flat to air dry, add a cute handmade care label), and how to bounce back after frogging an entire sweater.
  • Page 20: "Witch, Please! How to Charm Your Yarn into Behaving" by Jessica Wallis. Already upside-down in a tangled web of yarn? Prevention is better than cure: wind it tight, store it right, contain your yarn in a bowl, and identify the source (usually the center snarl).

Really enjoying my gardening magazine and looking forward to the next issue. Fall is my favorite time of year and this issue has reinforced and confirmed things that l already do and has given me some new ideas. I love to plant and watch things grow. I grew up on a farm so gardening is in my DNA.

I love it being a print paper that I can carry with me to read. I haven’t finished the puzzles yet. It has inspired me to get back to thinking about our winter garden. It’s still really hot here in Texas but this has gotten me planning for Fall.

I love the depth of the articles. I share the newspapers with my 90 year old Mother and she loves it too. I appreciate that it's something I can read that's not on a screen. I can tell already I'll be saving them to refer to throughout the gardening season.

Gardening Nation • Issue 1

It was a wonderful birthday present for my wife! She loved it!

Knit Nation • Issue 4

I’m learning so much. And I really appreciate that. It’s a paper newsletter and not electronic. I’m an older gardener and I like reading and highlighting what I want to remember.

I have only received one issue but I am really looking forward to the second issue which is on the way. I haven't made any of the patterns yet, but I know that I will. It's a great paper. I like the games as well as the patterns. Glad I subscribed.

I love the magazine. I’m also love the crochet nation and the knitting nation. I think they are all three fantastic. I have every copy of the crochet and knitting nation, and I would like to have a complete copy from number one through the current month for the history nation if it’s possible, let me know and I will pay you for them. I think they are fantastic. Keep up the great work.

History Nation • Issue 1

I enjoy reading outside in my garden 🪴 And learning everything about plants.

Gardening Nation $12.95 Monthly

I like history so I am enjoying the history paper immensely. I like the information for the different years from the very, very early years to more modern history. I liked reading about the Roman Empire and could see similarities between then and what is happening in the country now. History does repeat itself and this country should learn from that history.

I'm one who loves physical versions of my crochet patterns and never really know what to do next. When I got my first crochet nation newspaper in the mail I really fell in love. Not only are there puzzles for me to do inbetween my crochet breaks but the different articles really catch my attention. I don't know many other people who crochet so the tips/advice that are in the different articles really help me out too. I'm looking forward to my next one and can't wait to see what it all includes. I'm definitely going to have a newspaper collection because I can't see myself ever getting rid of these.

It’s really nice to have a knit newspaper, and more than just patterns but stories, knitting history and fun facts, added extras that magazines don’t always cover and some I’ve not seen at all in knit magazines. I enjoy the grandma stories. They also have kint crosswords for those who enjoy. Good patterns from known designers. I recommend to at least get one to see what it’s like, you may get hooked.

I like the patterns in the newsletter, but I wish there were more patterns for household things like dishcloths, decorative towels, and toys for children. I do like the comic and mystery story a lot.

Crochet Nation • Issue 18

This issue had gotten lost in the mail and when I reached out about it, I was promptly sent another one. I really enjoy this publication and learn something new with each issue.

Knit Nation • Issue 15

It's a great resource and many of the articles serve as solid reminders of what it's time to do. I'm a moderately experienced gardener, not a novice but by no means an expert, and found most of the info gauged pretty appropriately for me. It's a beautiful publication, with color throughout. Good writing and terrific editing. I worked in newspapers for 25 years and have some idea of the work and talent behind the publication, and I'm impressed and delighted!

I really enjoy receiving the “Crochet Nation” newspaper. I enjoy the articles, horoscopes and games. But mostly, I enjoy the many patterns included in the paper. The instructions are great and describe how to work each stich required in the pattern. I look forward to receiving my paper every month! Glenda Fritz, La Plata, MD
