Bright colors make us happy and our Nifty Neons chapter is sure to make you smile! One of our favorite projects is the colorful Craft Caches by designer Deb Arch. These are sure to brighten your desk in your craft room as they hold all your crochet hooks and other art supplies. The raffia ribbon yarn in bold citrus colors creates fun textures and will add a pop of color no matter where you use them.

And of course, our Kaleidoscope Throw from the cover is a real showstopper! This eye catching throw would look great in a modern living room, on a sun porch or in a teen’s bedroom. The motifs can be done on the go and then assembled later making it a perfect summer project too.

In our Cool for School feature, we just love the adorable Panels and Points Jumper from designer, Jennifer Raymond. Jennifer’s clever use of short rows to create the wedges surrounding the lacy panels at the hem really adds to this classic design. Crocheted in an easycare acrylic/cotton blend, this is the perfect “first day back to school dress.” We’ve included a tutorial article by Jennifer explaining her short-row technique as an added bonus.

In our Designer Spotlight, Rena V. Stevens shares a few tips to help you create her stunning Scrolling Scallops Shawl. Crocheted in cool cotton/acrylic worsted weight yarn, this shawl will work up quickly and pairs perfectly with breezy summer dresses.
