The pattern calls for Red Heart Hula yarn, but I can easily see this in myriad fibers. Cotton or bamboo would be lovely. I have a fairly large stash of ecru, taupe and cornmeal colored cotton, which I think would make a lovely striped version of this sweater.
The second pattern is my take on the classic tomato pincushion...
Another simple pattern that utilizes Red Heart Super Saver. Although, I think this too would look great in a shiny mercerized cotton. Methinks it would also be a wonderful gift for Mother's Day!
The newest issue of Crochet Today is currently available at your local newsstand or bookseller. Enjoy!

I am going to have to buy my first ever crochet magazine, because I love that pincushion! I want to make dozens.
I immediately put the pin holder on my "must make" list when I saw it in the magazine. Too cute. I like that sweater, too.
The patterns are sensational! And thank you for using 'myriad' correctly.
FYI: my work verification is 'unsoft'. Not even joking.
Make that 'word' verification. Not 'work'.
I saw them and plan to make both and also meant to email ya a congrats, but lately I suck at getting back to people.
Congrats-cool patterns!
YAY YOU!!!!!
VERY good!
The sweater looks interesting...like it might be adaptable to fit a wide range of sizes maybe??
Congratulations on having more patterns published. I Really like the Tomato Pincushion.
Regina it looks fantastic as always. Thanks for always being inspiring and fun!

Oh, I will be picking up this issue today. I love the two patterns you have chose. The top looks like a breeze. I will definately be making that pincushion. Cute !
It makes my heart happy to see you still designing and getting published. Yay!
Your tomato pincushion is adorable. Gotta make one.
Hi I love both the sweater and pin cushion patterns.
Question: How do you make it into the business? I have been crocheting since I was 6, and I am very passionate about it. I want to make it a business.
Cool! Congratulations!
Lady L, I met a crocheter in Detroit last week who was ALREADY at work making your sweater from this issue! yay!
