Fall is a crafter’s utopia. Rustling leaves, hot cocoa, sitting by the fire and my favorite – fall yarn festivals!

Our designs offer some great opportunities to shop or stash dive. London Calling uses mini-skeins in 6 colors. Hive Mind uses just 2 skeins of Madelinetosh Tosh Chunky for the set and the Coia set makes fun use of Malabrigo Rasta. 

Of course no socktober would be complete without a sock. We’ve got Cawfields – a cuff-down sock with texture inspired by English castles. And don’t miss that gorgeous handkerchief heel. 

And if you love socks – or want to try them – don’t miss our Sockstar ebook. It’s over 50 pages of tutorials, tips and great information to help you make you sock smarter. 

It’s also the start of the holiday season with Halloween. Make up our cute bat complete with little fangs. Barnabas only takes a little bit of yarn and time.

Give our whole issue a peruse. With 11 new patterns there’s sure to be something in it for you. And in case you missed it, we’re now publishing monthly so we’ll see you again in 4 weeks!
