NOTE: ALL COVER IMAGES THIS PAGE ARE PROPERTY OF
PUBLISHER, but are scanned from my private collection.

SUMMARY: This run of magazines has Tower Press' trademark black and white pix on cheap cheap newsprint. Picture quality is very poor, so if you're hoping to figure out details of a pattern from staring at the photo, you are out of luck. There are very few soft toy patterns in the earliest issues - the occasional Barbie(and Ken) clothing pattern - but by early 1968 you get a series of really amazing Barbie patterns by Joan Chiara. I collected this magazine primarily for the Myrtle Hamilton tatting patterns, but when Mary Feese with her clothing design and alterations tips joined the staff writers, I began searching in earnest. Her suggestions still hold up 40 years later! The whole magazine is rife with typos, sometimes hilariously so("Your eyes are playing trucks on you..." - so I've wondered if English was a second language for the Editor. As I've gone through them, I haven't seen a lot of pattern corrections(there's always a few) though, so I'm guessing that they at least took care there.

A small thing that has struck me strongly while doing these bibliography pages is the fact that the further back any of these needlecraft magazines go, the less likely a woman is to attribute her own name to her work. "Mrs. William Jones" (as an example - I'm not picking on any one designer) sends a powerful message on how strongly women's identities were consumed by their husband's. I discovered from an exasperated comment made by the editor of another craft magazine that a lot of the patterns that had no attribution wasn't because his magazine didn't want to give credit where it was due, but because the designers refused to let him! I find that very sad. We lose something, and our crafts lose something, when we don't stand with our creations. And I've got to wonder how many of these anonymous designers were men afraid of being ridiculed or thought their work would be less well received if it was known it was designed by a man. It reminds me of women SF writers, who had to adopt Nom de Plumes (usually by using their initials - CJ Cherryh, CL Moore) like Andre Norton or James Tiptree, Jr(and boy, was there a row when she was revealed!) because it was commonly believed women didn't have the brains to write science fiction!

That said, most of the unattributed crochet and knit clothing in these magazines were contributed by the thread and yarn manufacturers whose products were promoted to make the garments. They never put the designer's names on the work they did for them. I'm guessing the textile companies had designers on staff just to produce an endless supply of cardigan and sweater patterns with that year's neckline. (I imagine a room of grannies in rockers, wearing those hands-free headsets, calling out their employee number and a string of pattern instructions to a clerk sitting at a computer with a receiver as they knit or hook their way through their latest assignment... "Granny115 copy Row 8 knit 1, purl 1, repeat, over..." "I copy Granny115, proceed to 9, I repeat, proceed to row 9...")

Volume/Issue Numbers are messed up - have to fix them when I have all the issues. They couldn't remember where they were from issue to issue...

Update- According to an editor's note in the Dec. 1968 issue on page 30 they had what were called Newsstand issues, which were different from their subscriber issues, so issues I have that don't have mailing labels on them may not be the same issue with that date that got sent to subscribers. AAAAHHH!!! And I'd be the one to go to jail...

Update to the update- I now have enough of the subscriber copies vs the newsstand copies to make a stab at fixing the Vol/Issue numbers... Aaand still could not do it. I finally gave up and just started inserting whatever number was on the subscriber issue. They never did get them straight.

NOTES: It took me forever to find this issue - and then twice that long again to find an INTACT copy. I've become absolutely fascinated with lattice smocking, and this issue has one of the rare articles I've been able to find on the subject.

Page Count: 64
Notes: Okay, I've given up at this point keeping track of the actual Vol/issue numbers. I'm just going to put what it says in the header into the bib.

Notes: There doesn't appear to be any article pertaining to the beautiful lattice smocked pillows displayed on the front cover of this issue - I read through the issue twice carefully to make sure! The premiere issue has an article on this(though I haven't read it yet because it was torn out of the only copy I've come across so far!) There is an article almost a year and half later on smocking gingham for pillows in the Mar/April 1974 issue...
