Decorative Crochet Magazine - Still being published?

Hi There,

Does anyone know if Decorative Crochet magazine is still in
publication? Does anyone have a contact phone number? My older copies
have a mailing address, but no phone number.

Thanking you in advance!

Hi Tanya!!
Decorative Crochet and Magic Crochet (same people) are my favorite
magazines. I do believe that they went out of business. The magazines
both originate from France and put into English over here. Inside the
cover it tells you about subscriptions to it. It is an address in
Danbury, Connecticut. There is no phone number anywhere. I even called
information about both magazines and the publishers. Nothing. I had
subscribed to them both for years, and this past year when the
subscriptions ran out, so did the magazines!!!! I am just sick about
it. They put out a third magazine too, only I can't think of the name.
I found it when I went to a Borders bookstore. (There isn't a Borders
anywhere near here : ( ) That is all the info I have on it. I hope
like you do, they are out there somewhere!!!! Fairwinner

The most recent copy I have of Crochet Monthly which is available in the UK,
has the subtitle of Magic Crochet. It is published in France by Editions de
Saxe. At the bottom of the front cover it says UK: monthly - Number 314,
USA: Subscribers number 159. The only contact address is in Lyon, France.
The website is www.edisaxe.com which is in French , the 'Site Anglais' link
didn't work, and when I searched for the two titles - nothing.

I'm afraid this isn't much help, but it does seem that Magic Crochet was the
US version of Crochet Monthly and now they've combined AFAIK.

Thank you both so much for the information. Amazon.com used to sell
both of these magazines, and they have both disappeared from their
site.

Maybe I'll try to write and find out what happened. From what I can
tell, there seems to be quite a few people who really enjoyed those
magazines. Apparently not enough for them to continue publication.

I really appreciate your help. Thanks again!!

Yes!! That is the name I couldn't think of! How simple too...... Well,
I was more than half asleep......LOL It wouldn' do me any good
though to go to the website you provided, since I can't speak enough
French to catch a bus!!! But thank you for your help. I do appreciate
it immensely!! Fairwinner

Thanks to an extreme Amazon Magazines mistake, I found out through
them (after having paid for my subscription) that both Magic Crochet
and Decorative Crochet have ceased publication. Seems that after Les
Editions de Saxe decided to axe the magazines, they didn't bother
telling Amazon to stop taking money for the subscriptions. After
receiving no magazines or hearing not a word for months, I emailed
customer service, which started the investigative process. The powers
that be at Amazon Magazines sent me a subscription to Crochet Monthly
(UK) in its place. While the publisher (and the idea is the same),
Crochet Monthly is a very sad substitute for Magic (or Decorative)
Crochet. The magazine is not only a lot less pages (I'd say by half),
the cost is prohibitive - $67.24 US per subscription year.

I will really miss Magic Crochet - very seldom do you come upon such
beautiful patterns combined with gorgeous photos - not to mention the
wonderful graphic pattern layout.
