I agree with the others. I’d prefer a paper magazine. Otherwise I am happy with I Like Crochet although I haven’t made any projects yet. Using up patterns and yarn that I already have.

I prefer a magazine to hold. I prefer to keep it with me as I am not crazy about having it on the computer. It is nice but…
Hello! Thank you for your interest in I Like Crochet magazine. At this time, we do not have printed versions of our magazine issues.

Thanks! – Nicola, Editor
I would like to put some of my favorite patterns on my I pad as a file to use later. We sometimes go off grid and I would like to be able to have access to patterns there. How can I do this? I don’t want to print to paper because of the environmental aspect and the patterns tend to get messy and crushed in the project bag.
Hi there, I’m not 100% sure how to instruct you to do this, besides copying the pattern into a word processor and then saving it as a PDF for yourself? Potentially you’d be able to save that to your files on your iPad. You could also screenshot the pattern to save to your photo library on your iPad. We are working to have individual downloads for gold members in the future, it’s just going to take us some time! Hopefully this helps in the meantime! – Nicola, Editor
Jodie, if you have an iPad you can just use the send icon from the pattern page to send to Books. You will get a pdf of the pattern with the primary picture. You don’t get extra pics and any charts have to be sent separately but it works
I still would rather have a magazine to hold. Thought was what I was signing up for. Not really satisfied with this online thing.but
