SUMMARY: I've got one(1) issue of this so far, and it's to the left. It's about equal parts knitting and crochet, with a couple of cloth dolls thrown in. Names I know like Sue Penrod and Jane Slovachek are contributors, but for the most part the names of the designers weren't given. Still, you get a LOT of patterns for your buck(s). I'm very happy I don't have to fill in a bunch of these all at once - finding what contributors' names they did give was like hunting for Easter eggs(time consuming). Full color photos are great - but they're not with the patterns so you may end up doing a lot of flipping back and forth if you don't want to mutilate your magazine.



HOW TO MAKE THIS MAGAZINE CATALOG SEARCHABLE:
METHOD ONE(downside is it takes some effort and time):
1. Open a blank page in your favorite word processing program.
2. Right click and "SELECT ALL"
3. Right click and "COPY"
4. "PASTE" or CTRL"V" what you copied into the blank page(it could take a while depending on the size of the page)
5. Use the search function as you normally would. Try to stick to only one word, since authors will sometimes use their middle initial, then not, change names, etc.
6. Trash the blank page when you're done.

METHOD TWO(downside is you have to wade through a lot of HTML code to read the entries):
1. Right click and "VIEW SOURCE". This will bring up a second window that will give you a behind-the-stage look at my coding along with the entries. There is a search function on source pages. Use it as you would the search function for a word processor(see METHOD 1). Close the Source page when you're done.
