Can you believe the weather?! I know I’m not alone when I say that sunshine makes everything in the world seem that little bit better, and we’ve had some truly gorgeous days recently. With two bank holidays this month as well, it’s the perfect opportunity to get out into the garden and enjoy new-grown flowers and the smell of cut grass. Mmm!
With that in mind, we’ve got a garden-themed issue for you this month, full of pretty crochet designs perfect for hooking outside in the sun. Why not start with Tracey Todhunter’s sweet fl oral accessories, ideal for brooches or hairclips, or if you’re looking for a larger homeware project then check out Caroline Eden’s stunning floral cushion set. And I’m particularly fond of Tracey’s motif cowl, a gorgeous project that’s great for showing off self-striping yarns. If your wardrobe is still due a jumper clearout and you’re in need of some lighter pieces for the warmer weather, then turn to for Annelies Baes’s stylish Nikkim Tee, worked in a cool cotton yarn. And you’ll find a glorious waterfall-style waistcoat by Melissa Leapman, perfect for brightening up a plain top.
Our free gift this month is a pretty-but-practical tape measure – just the thing for checking your tension or pattern measurements. I’m always losing mine (or leaving them in project bags around the house) so more are always welcome!
Happy crocheting…
