Welcome to the start of a new crafting season!

Back-to-school, back-to-crafting – it all contributes to that return-to-new feeling.

Enjoy our sock patterns, or our free pattern, or even one of our giveaways!

We have 3 different socks for you:

From left to right we have:

• Whale of a Tail Socks by Lori Wagner
• Furballs Going Nowhere Socks by Tomato 68
• Sohcahtoa Socks by Bumble & Brush

Kaitlin Ostafew’s book The Art of Crochet with Sock Weight Yarn comes out next month, but don’t forget to enter our giveaway for a copy.

Oh and not to forget – Kaitlin gave us a pattern to give out for free to our readers.

But, we’re not even close to be finished yet.

Brooklyn Tweed is coming out with a book on Knitted and Crocheted Blankets. Make sure you read our review and register for the giveaway. And we also knitted up a few swatches of their blankets…

Make sure you read them – we show you 3 colors and 2 different weights of Imbue.

And be sure to take a peak at our interview with Jared Flood – Brooklyn Tweed’s Creative Director.

But yes, there’s even more! We have another set of Stitchopedia Knits

and a set of Stitchopedia Crochet as well.

Oh, and since it’s new, we also interviewed Julie Dejardins – our Crochet Expert for Stitchopedia! Even though I’ve known Julie for over 10 years, I even learned a few things about her.

See? I told you it’s a HUUUGE issue! I’m so happy to be able to share it all with you.

Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just starting out, there’s something in this issue for everyone.

Craft Smarter!
