With an appropriate dose of good timing (it's our first anniversary issue), I'm going to have to delay the launch of the Oct/Nov issue by a couple of days. As I mentioned earlier, there's been a death in the family and Mr. Crochet me and I will be leaving town tomorrow morning for the funeral. We will be away for a couple of days, and the issue will go up as soon as possible upon my return.

I thank you in advance for understanding. If you have a blog or belong to a crochet-related mailing list, please pass along the word that the issue is coming a little late, but that it's definitely worth waiting for. We have Halloween masks, a stunning scarf, a ballet wrap cardigan, and a mascot on the way. We'll also be unveiling a new, professionally designed layout, and in coming weeks the entire site will be moved into a system that will allow for incredible new features (like a searchable, cross-referenced pattern index, truly printer-friendly pages, and eventually even a more automated submission process).

I'll let you know the second the new issue is up. Have a great weekend!
