Don’t you just love when the season starts to turn at

the end of winter? There’s only so much grey, cold rain we

can deal with, even with the promise of hiding inside with

our crochet hooks. At least rain in spring means colourful

fl owers and the smell of freshly cut grass! Of course, it

also means celebrating Mother’s Day and Easter too, and

if you want to give a gift that’s not chocolate-related (or

perhaps, along with your chocolate) then we have some

great ideas for you this issue.

Use just one ball of yarn to make fabulous accessories
for yourself or loved ones this month, starting with the
Rhapsody in Bloom Scarf (page 14) and then get your hands on some new-season Stylecraft
yarn to make the Spring Up Beanie (page 48) to warm you on those inevitably chilly days we still
have to look forward to. Sachiyo Ishii’s Mother Goose and Goslings (page 18) would make a
sweet choice for Mother’s Day, or if you want to impress in no time at all, make a blanket in as
little as a weekend with Cygnet’s new seriously chunky yarn on page 42.

Decorate your home with Jayne Price’s beautiful Meadows in Spring Wreath (page 44) to
celebrate the season’s festivities, and welcome in the Easter Bunny with our adorable amigurumi
on page 50! There is so much to choose from, but my personal favourite has to be Liz Salazar’s
gorgeous kimono-style cardigan on page 26 – that duck egg shade just shouts spring to me, plus it’s
so fl attering for all body types and easy to wear!

I hope you will enjoy your two exclusive pattern books that you’ve received with this issue.
I had so much fun working on the RSPB collection with the designer, and we are pleased to be
donating a portion of each sale of the magazine to the RSPB! You will also be spoilt for choice
for fun spring makes in the home with our pretty collection from the team at Lily Sugar’n Cream!
We can’t wait to see what you make this month.

Goodbye for now!
