Note From the Editor

Summer can be a hard time to get into picking up your hook and yarn as the heat bears down on us and the weather is so nice we just want to get outdoors as much as possible. For those reasons, we have chosen projects for this issue that you will find useful for your summer adventures, as well as items that are smaller in nature so that they are easier to complete in a short amount of time and to take along with you on your outings.

We have also been listening to your feedback and are constantly working to make the magazine content better for you with each issue. We are creating more stitch diagrams for better visuals and giving you more photos for reference.

Be sure to stay connected to our social media 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!
