Note From the Editor

We have some unique afghans that you can work on in the air conditioning or on a cooler summer evening. There are also loads of smaller projects that you can work up quickly and put to use immediately. I know we say this a lot, but make a few as gifts as well. Try your hand at a lovely summer garment or accessory that you can wear out on a picnic or to the beach. We are sure you will find something that will get your hands itching to grab your hook and yarn, at least for a bit of a reprieve from the heat of outdoors.

Be sure to stop by the blog for insight behind the designs, inspiration and tips! And hashtag and post images of your projects on all your regular social media platforms. Let's get chatting and sharing the love!
