Free patterns
Submitted by Lauren3748 on Wed, 2010-03-31 02:36.As I understand it, as a long-time subscriber, Crochet Today don't have a facility for buying individual patterns or an online archive of patterns to which subscription might give you access.
If you subscribe, you are subscribing to receive the hard copy of the magazine, by post, not an online version.
If you want older patterns, you need to buy the paper back issue of the magazine, assuming the one you want hasn't sold out, and you can either phone CT to order these, or I just saw the other day, you can now buy the hard copies online via this website.
Occasionally they have some free patterns which anyone can access, for which you go to 'patterns' > 'free patterns' > click on the one you want, then download the pdf file from each page where it says 'download pdf'. You need to make sure you have up to date Acrobat software (which is freely downloadable too).
Other magazines may have online archives, freely available to all, or available to subscribers, but not this one. But hopefully this should all be explained in the text/information you agree to when you sign up, and/or phone up to enquire. Some magazines publish an online version, to which you can subscribe, maybe CT will do this at some point. I wouldn't assume you're signing up to something like a free archive or online editions, unless it specifically says so, even if another magazine you are subscribed to does this.
thanks, Lauren!
Submitted by erin on Wed, 2010-03-31 12:22.Thank you Lauren for answering the original poster, and confirming that we are NOT a digital publication--subscribing means you will receive hard copy magazines 6 times a year.
Yes, back issues are just that, back issues, and should you wish to own their content you'll have to buy them, pending availability.

Submitted by Lauren3748 on Tue, 2010-03-30 07:20.I don't understand this - how come you had to buy patterns if you've subscribed to the magazine? Unless you want patterns in old issues, from before you subscribed? If the latter were possible, then people would wait until there are lots of old patterns, stocked up in the archives, then subscribe for a short time to get access to the old patterns, cancel their subscription when they've downloaded them all, and wonder why the magazine goes under because people are abusing it!
You subscribe to get the patterns in the new issues, not the old, archived ones - it wouldn't be fair on people who have been subscribing for years otherwise. Perhaps at some point there could be individual rates to buy single patterns, or a higher subscription rate for those who want to access an archive, but to expect Crochet Today (and other magazines), who have very fair subscription rates to give you all their older patterns isn't a very sustainable business model! It would be like buying the last couple of books in a series and expecting to get all the earlier ones free!
archives
Submitted by frloplady on Tue, 2010-03-30 14:17.I subscribed to Crochet...and I can access the archives for 2 years back
I went to "free" patterns on this site..and find out there really isn't any. Strange way to do business.
need help with 1st row of body
Submitted by debj. on Sat, 2009-11-14 20:33.I am not new to crochet, but I have never attempted clothing before now. I refuse to give up! Now I am ready to start the body, and I have a question. The first row is a half scallop, if I start my first row here I am left with my last row (also a half scallop) unworked. Is this correct? I have counted and recounted my rows over and over. How many rows in total are there? Any help appreciated. Also, I like the holes in the pattern.

Submitted by jschleg on Thu, 2009-11-12 16:07.Maybe you should actually read the entire blog before accusing someone of telling someone else to steal!! If you read it correctly, she suggested that the person BUYS the magazine and cuts out the one pattern they would like to keep. (The KEY word there being BUY!) Talk about RUDE calling someone tacky when you yourself didn't read correctly.

need help with last row of capelet
Submitted by debj. on Mon, 2009-11-09 11:47.I am trying to finish my capelet,I am on the last row.I have finished the short rows and next 19 rows.I am now on the last row.I have worked ch 1, turn;(sc,dc)in 1st st,[sk next st,(sc,dc)in next st] 11 times, ch 9,sk next st,sc in next st, and placed a marker in sc just made. Now I am lost. How do I work sc along ch9 then dc in marked sc? Do I turn to sc in first chain of ch9? but how do I get back to marked sc? since I am now in the wrong direction. Do I dc in marked sc or next to it as if I had made a (sc,dc) in pattern? The stitching keeps twisting as I try to do the last dc. Please help!! Also, I have holes as others do from my short rows, it didn't occur to me to check for corrections. I assumed that was how it was suppose to be. The correction for this doesn't make sense either, do I put my hook thru the side of row I'm working on or the row below? As the hook goes thru the side then thru the st,do I pull up a loop and go thru both stitches? Any help would be appreciated.
