And here it is, in the form of an exclusive preview of January's 'Inside Crochet' cover. In addition to writing my regular column, IC's lovely editor Claire asked if I would contribute to their bumper edition of winter patterns. Excited by the prospect of allowing my imagination to run wild, I plumped for the super chunky, super gorgeous Magnum Cascade yarn I blogged about last month. I didn't anticipate that my oversized plaited cowl would make it to the front cover! It makes me very proud to reveal it here...
And I'm itching to get hold of a copy, I love the look of the little elephant, not to mention the wolf hat (Dante's already given that the thumbs up!). Bulging with fabulous hooky content, this issue looks to be the best yet! And apologies if I'm a bit over excited, but it's not everyday a girl gets a magazine cover ;-) xxx
Hi Sara,
Sorry I am a bit late catching up on your blog. Congratulations, you have every right to be excited about being on the front page of a such a fab magazine. I enjoyed your article last month and looking forward to this issue.
Hope you have a lovely Christmas.
Angela.

I bought tha issue today and first on my list is this cowl. I think it's a genius construction idea! I tried to find it on Ravelry but can't see it. Is it known by a different name?

Hi Angela, Thank you! It is a great issue - I'm making a couple of the amigrumi elephants for my friends little girls, they're so cute! Hope you had a lovely Christmas. Sara x

Hi Natasja, So pleased you like the cowl - I am enjoying wearing it in this miserable weather! I'm not sure how Ravelry works, sorry, maybe check with the Inside Crochet team - you'll find them on Facebook & Twitter. I simply send them the pattern and finished project, when and if it makes it on to Ravelry I'm not sure? Let me know if you need me to post photos of 'making up' - the plaiting, stitching etc. S x
