UPDATE: The preorder period is passed, but you can still order the print magazine for $12. See details below.

Outside forces slowed production on this issue, but we powered through and got it done just in time to inspire some fun winter crafting. From knitted and crocheted hats to sweet little ornaments and baked winter delights, this issue was designed to instigate wild creativity through the holiday season and beyond. Issue 5 is packed with projects ranging from holiday ornaments to sewn project bags, Tunisian crochet, baking, weaving, embroidery and more.

I signed off on the final proof today and will be picking up the printed copies just in time for the Detroit Urban Craft Fair Saturday and Sunday.

The magazine cover price is $12, but I’m offering the usual pre-order special of a dollar off the cover price through Friday. You can snag your copy in my shop.

Here’s a peek of what’s inside…

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, my friends. More goodies from this issue will be revealed in the coming days. Print copies will be delivered to West Michigan shops next Monday and PDF copies will be available for instant download the same day.

Once again it’s been my privilege to work with a wonderful line-up of contributors. You’ll recognize some of their names from previous issues as well as see some new artists and crafters who have joined us for issue 5.
