Note From the Editor

Yes! It's almost the holidays. My little heart is doing a happy dance and some somersaults. I just adore looking at all the holiday decorations and the prospect of snow. Sorry, but I am a snow fan and just love the crisp, clean smell of it on the air.

We have all the whimsy and sparkle of the holidays in this issue as well as cozy things to snuggle and wrap up in to stay warm. Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, I think many of the items could fit right in with any holiday this season with some color substitutions. I would love to see what color combinations you come up with, so be sure to post on social media with #crochetworldmag so we can all check them out.

We also start an adorable woodland amigurumi series with this issue. Barrett the Bear in his cute little outfit is the first in a series of five animals. Each animal will also come with an outfit that can be removed and exchanged for other outfits later in the series. I hope you enjoy making each one in the series. By the end you are going to have an awesome little play set that you can gift next holiday season.
