A Note from the Editor

There’s something special about a change in seasons. The grass is literally greener, birds are singing, everything around you is suddenly full of and bursting with life. Even the wind itself seems different: lighter, warmer and smelling of flowers from your neighbor’s garden. It’s truly one of my favorite times of the year and one of the reasons I’m so excited by this latest issue. Taking into account our favorite parts of spring, we challenged our designers to create stunning pieces that embodied the season.
From the lightweight and colorful scarves featured in the Spring Forward section, to the trendy Cacti-inspired projects included in our Cactus Makes Perfect round up, you’ll find bright pieces for both your home and your wardrobe.
And we haven’t forgotten about Easter. From the cutest little cardigans to the even cuter knit rabbit toy, we have something perfect for any little one in your life.

P.S. some of my favorite patterns are featured in the Breezy Eyelets section. You Plus, give your closet an entire spring refresh by whipping up the Seeing Eyelet-to-Eyelet Top is a must have for this season. It’s classic and elegant and definitely next on my to-knit list.
