A Fond Farewell to Interweave Crochet

   I just looked at your library of crochet patterns and have some questions.
   Do you have to be subscribed to Interweave+ to view the the new crochet patterns available there? Because I only see patterns from past issues.
   Several times in this comment section it was stated there would be new patterns added starting the beginning of 2022. It was stated later they would be added starting in March. I would like to see the the new patterns before I subscribe. How many new patterns have been added to the crochet pattern library?
   I already have the entire Interweave Crochet collection and most special crochet issues as well. As others have stated, unless you publish new crochet patterns, there is no reason for a crochetist to subscribe to your service. If you have not added any new patterns, you have basically abandoned the crochet community at this point and misrepresented your services. It was pretty poor timing on your part. With Covid, many people took up crochet at a hobby. All you have to do is go to Ravelry and see the huge amounts of wonderful crochet patterns being posted there, many of them for free. Hopefully I am wrong and pleasantly surprised. I really hope you have added new crochet patterns to your library as you stated would happen.
   So, how many NEW crochet patterns have been added since the beginning of 2022?
   And can I preview them before deciding to subscribe to Interweave+?

      Hello Lad
      All of our crochet patterns that are listed for sale on our website can be purchased without an Interweave Plus membership. Since we are no longer publishing Interweave Crochet, the new crochet patterns will be posted within all of the older patterns.

   I just found this out! So no more magazine, what about new crochet patterns? If there aren’t going to be any, I’d be pretty foolish to keep my Interweave+ subscription

      Hey, pinkb! Yes! There will be new crochet patterns! We will be releasing new patterns to the crochet community on Interweave+ starting in March. We have designs coming from Sati Glenn, Shelby Allaho, and Jennifer Olivarez, plus others in the months to follow. We’re excited to share these patterns soon! –Kerry B, Content Manager, Yarn

   I started subscribing to interweave knits from first issue then interweave crochet from beginning! Since I rarely knit I dropped interweave knits in past year or so. I much prefer print issues and don’t understand why interweave crochet is discontinued and NOT interweave knits!! When I first got notification I thought all your print issues were going digital. Can you please explain why your crochet print magazine was discontinued but not your knit print magazine????

   Enjoyed the magazine for years, but NOT pleased with this format. No customer service, no one to contact. Where might we find errata? That doesn’t even come up in the query tool. I WILL NOT RENEW. Goodbye to all companies who take our money but leave us to solve potential problems on our own. Disgusting.

      Hi Dianna, We’re sorry to see your frustration at the end of Interweave Crochet magazine. I assure you, we are all very sad to see it go, too.

      Errata is where it has always been, at the top of the page. Mouse over Crochet and you’ll see Corrections in the first column on the left. Errata is there.

      Regarding customer service, there was customer service information in all the emails and letters we sent to subscribers. There is also a Contact Us customer service option at the bottom of every page on this site. Please feel free to contact customer service with any questions that you have. You mentioned that you will not renew; there is nothing to renew, but customer service can also help you with any refund on your remaining subscription.

      Thank you for your support through the years.

   How will I receive the balance of my subscription? I received a letter in the mail and followed its instructions but it isn’t clear to me how I get access for the balance of my subscription.

      Hi Ruth,

      Customer Service can help you with that. I’ll ask them to contact you. Watch your email for a message from them.

   This is sad news indeed. I’ve been a huge fan of Interweave Crochet since the Fall 2005 issue. Every month, I’d scan the racks at my local Barnes & Noble and take the newest issue home – always so excited to read the articles and try new patterns and techniques. I am so sorry that after 16 years, I have to say goodbye!

   I have a questions about interweave+ – will there be new patterns added? As a long-time subscriber to Interweave Crochet and having kept all the magazines! – I already probably have all the patterns I want from the 1600 you mention. If there is not going to be new content, subscribing makes no sense for me.

      Tammy Jones September 8, 2021

      Hi Susan! Yes, new patterns will be added. Our content team has been working with magazine contributors and other crochet pattern designers to create new, exclusive crochet patterns for Interweave+. They’ll start appearing at the first of the year, perhaps sooner. Thank you for your interest!

   I hope you are not discontinuing the Knit version of the magazine. Why not include a couple of crochet patterns in the knit magazine? It is so sad to see crochet related magazines disappear.

      Hi Evelyn, Interweave Knits is not being discontinued. I’ll share your suggestion for crochet patterns in the knit magazine with the Yarn team, thank you!
