Ready for a summer getaway? Escape into your crochet with the beautiful projects from this issue. When we realized our summer photo shoot was scheduled for early February, we thought we should probably plan to stay indoors for it. And thank goodness we did! We woke up the day of the photo shoot to a winter wonderland of snow and ice. Challenging (and icy) days make me appreciate having a wonderful team, and the team for this magazine was spectacular. We were all in a summer mind-set, even with the snow! The projects in this issue have had us ready for warmer temperatures for what feels like forever, so we’re very glad summer is finally here. Take your crochet out onto the grass and add some color to your day!…
