The Best Crochet Magazines | By Amy Maxwell

Crochet Magazines provide a fun way to discover new crochet patterns and designers. Whether in print or online, magazines offer a collection of patterns, tutorials and information that are helpful to any crocheter. Some magazines focus on traditional techniques and styles while others offer a contemporary angle on crochet and design. Crochet magazines range from those that contain housewares, toys, and children’s clothing to couture fashion, accessories and trendy garments. Certain crochet magazines lean one way or the other while some others try to incorporate a mixture of subjects. Either way, you can expect to find about 18 – 24 unique patterns per issue plus articles, interviews, tutorials and reviews.

Interweave Crochet is one of my favorites. It often features modern crochet sweaters, wire jewelry, and beautiful lacy shawls in addition to crochet hook and yarn reviews, interviews with designers, etc. Interweave Crochet is also accompanied by it’s e-zine counterpart, Crochet Me which features free patterns and tutorials online.

Cosmopolitan - Subscription The largest-selling young women's magazine in the world, Cosmopolitan is famous for its upbeat style, focus on the young career woman and candid discussion of contemporary male/female relationships. Since its founding in 1886, Cosmopolitan has been reporting on modern social trends.

Crochet! Magazine is one of the more traditional magazines with patterns for sweaters, purses, pillows, afghans, children’s clothing and accessories. They are affiliated with Annie’s Attic and the Crochet Guild of America, members of which receive a free subscription to the magazine.

Crochet Today! magazine tends to fall somewhere in the middle of traditional and contemporary. The latest issue includes several home decor crochet patterns as well as toys, accessories and sweaters. Their online counterpart includes a blog that combines information from sister magazine Knitting Today!

There are several other crochet magazines available but these are perhaps the most popular. In addition to the regular print magazines there are also many noteworthy crochet e-zines. These online only magazines are a great alternative to print magazines because they are often free or offer the option to only purchase the patterns that you want to use. Also, with e-zines there is no such thing as “out of print” as patterns from back issues are available online any time. Some e-zines publish monthly or quarterly issues like a printed magazine would while others publish patterns one at a time throughout the year. E-zines also tend to be focused toward a smaller niche. Some are for more advanced crocheters while some focus on accessories or modern trends.

If you are wondering whether to subscribe to a crochet magazine and if so, which one, my advice is to check them out at a book store first or browse their website. Once you get a feel for each magazine and determine that you’re likely to use many of the patterns it is worth while to subscribe since you will save money versus buying each issue off the shelve. However, if you find that very few patterns appeal to you, you might be better off just purchasing individual magazines when they feature a pattern that you wish to use.

If you are planning to have any type of a holiday gathering, then you may want to consider incorporating some fun Christmas games as well. Party games can even be the focal point of your party if you wish, as you could tie them into your party theme. There are many different types of games available, whether for children, adults or both, which will add that something extra to your festivities.

For an older group, some games that you may want to try include Christmas movie trivia. Depending upon the number of guests, divide them up into one, two or several teams. Give each group several index cards and have them write down several questions relating to a particular Christmas movie with the answer on the back. Once the teams all have several cards, everyone can take turns reading their cards and having the other teams try to guess the movie. You can hand out prizes to the team that answers the most correctly.

Parenting Early Years - Subscription Parenting magazine is the nation's premier magazine for moms. Each issue contains age-specific child development guidance, information and tips on health and safety, and the best proven ways to stimulate your child's learning. Parenting is a great source of knowledge for new, expectant, and experienced moms everywhere.

If you need another idea for adult party games, then consider one called “ice breakers.” You can write down a bunch of generic Christmas related questions or statements such as, (blank) has gone Christmas caroling, or (blank) has made Snow Angels, or something along those lines. The guests take the list around to other guests and try to get someone’s name next to each statement. This is a great game for a group of people who really do not know each other that well. Check the Internet for other adult related holiday party game ideas, as there are many sites that have this information.

For teenager’s, one Christmas party game idea that can be a lot of fun is “pass the bow.” This is done much like the Halloween game where an apple or orange is passed down the line of a team without using their hands. You can use a large Christmas bow, tucked under the chin of the first person and have them give it to the next person in line without using their hands. If the bow is dropped, then it goes back to the first person and the merriment starts all over again. You can hand out prizes for the winning team.

Another idea for a Christmas kid party is to have a jar filled with candy that you have already counted. Have each child write down their guess as to how many pieces are in the jar, and the child whose guess is closest to the correct amount gets the jar of candy. Other party games may include the “penguin race,” where the kids form two teams and the players put a ball between their knees and waddles to the finish line or to a team member standing across the room. They then have to place it between another player’s knees and the game continues until all the team members have had a turn. If the ball is dropped, then whoever dropped it must start over at the line. You can give presents to the winning team.

Collectable Gold Coins | By Jack Wogan

Gold is a precious commodity much revered by males and females alike. Males prefer having gold coins as assets, and women of course enjoy gold jewellery. The best way to make a sound investment is to buy some gold; collectible gold coins are the way to go. This way whether you want to sell the coin for a much higher price at later stage, or melt it down for the precious metal to be reset in a jewellery article, you have made a solid investment.

The Indie Game Magazine - Subscription Indie Game Magazine is an independently owned, developer-centric, video game magazine. Indie Game Mag reviews and reports news on indie and casual games only! To our knowledge, we are the only exclusively indie game magazine available...so we have that going for us. What are indie games? Indie games are video games made by only a hand full of people, as opposed to the massive teams that make up the largest game studios. Indie Games are typically published by the people that make them or by some other small casual portal or distributor. What are casual games? Casual games in many cases are made by small indie game developers an

For centuries, gold has held an intrinsic fascination for mankind. Its splendour, scarcity, and resilience attribute it a unique value both monetary, and aesthetic. Coin collectors appreciate these characteristics even more than other people, because they know the magnificent history of the coins,- which have survived the ravages of time, and weather, made out of this much sought after yellow metal.

These coins can act as a window to peep into the past. They are better than almost all other kinds of coins, silver, copper, etc. Owning a collectible gold coin is like holding a part of history in all its glory in your hands.

European collectable gold are in a variety like the British Gold Sovereign, French 20 Franc, and the Austrian Gold Ducat etc. All European gold coins offer a good value for investors wanting to build their solid asset portfolios at reasonable prices. Along with a better value for money, they have provided the following benefits to the owner of a collectable gold coin:

Due to the international recognition of these coins, they make a good easily tradable asset. Since these coins were once used as actual money, they were ¼ ounce or smaller. This is good news for our investors, because the small size means that it will be much easier to sell, or liquidate the coins.

In 1933, United States government last confiscated gold from its citizens through a presidential decree, however, this decree did not encompass European gold coins, as they were recognised as having rare collectable value. Therefore, all things withstanding these coins will be exempted again if such a situation arises.

Modern bullion coins can be supplied in large quantities unlike the European gold coins, as these are limited to what was made eons ago. In addition, since European gold coins were used as actual currency, very few survived to the present time. Their rarity makes them a much sought after item, increasing demand, and keeping supply short.

There is a large variety of gold bullion coins from Europe available. If you look, you will find coinage from Austria, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. Gold coin collection is not only a hobby, but it has become an obsession for some collectors, who travel everywhere to look for a chance to get their hands on a rare piece. These coins go for very large sums in auctions, and some are rare enough to grace the admirers only with a glimpse from behind a glass case in museums.

Learning to Fly – Introduction to Radio Controlled Aeroplanes | By Antti M. Kokkonen

Radio controlled aeroplanes are model aeroplanes that are controlled remotely, usually with a hand-held radio transmitter and a receiver within the radio controlled aeroplane. Unlike RC cars, boats and such, radio controlled aeroplanes bring the third dimension to the controls, making the radio controls and flying the plane more challenging, but much more fulfilling and entertaining at the same time.

Many begin their RC hobby with land-based vehicles, but there is no reason why one couldn’t “jump” straight into the aeroplanes. Yes, flying is more complicated than controlling a RC car for example, but it’s not too complicated when you get the hang of it. However, because flying radio controlled aeroplanes takes a bit of coordination and patience, it is not suitable for everyone.
