You can still find these magazines at Walmart (only periodically). However, they don't seem to have the same content in them as they did years ago. The recent Magic Crochet magazine I picked up had more crochet items made from specialty yarns instead of thread designs.

You can find this magazine at Amazon books (along with everything else in the world!!!). You can subscribe at that site also. As for back issues, go to Ebay.
Sincerely,

Hi,
Thanks for answering my message. I still can't find it anywhere. I called their phone number and it is disconnected. A while ago I sent in the renewal cards for Magic Crochet andDecorative Crochet and this past Monday I received a copy of the British version of Crochet Monthly and in the center in says Magic Crochet. This has no renewal cards in the Magazine. It also came from Danbury. And I was told they stopped publishing also. This version has beautiful patterns also. If I find out anymore info I will post it.

I, too, have several Magic Crochet magazines and I cherish them. If you find a place where they are available, would appreciate your sharing that information with me,

I am a senior, senior citizen. Love crocheting, knitting, sewing.

From the Magic Crochet magazine my last prokject was a crocheted collar sprinkled with pearl beads. Challenging to do.

Hi
Check on ebay for your May 1997. There are alot of back issues on there.
I have found out that Magic and Decorative Crochet are being reformated and it is unknown if or when they will be available. We will just have to wait and see.
