Our August Issue is full of designs for the color of the year, Ultra Violet! Violet is a color that is not found often in nature. Lilac bushes are a treasure, as are orchids and lavender.  As a more difficult color to find and use as dye, shades of purple have been associated with grace, royalty, individuality, mystery, and riches. Purple uplifts the mind and evokes feelings of vitality, energy, and connection. We love what this color represents and are excited to share with you the crochet patterns that highlight this color.  Phanessa's hat, our CAL pattern for the month is a project you can use any yarn you would like! Enjoy  wearables, blankets, and more  in this issue.

Our issue also includes our stitch of the month with a bonus pattern, a special article by Michele Costa, and Crochet Heals.  And don’t forget to check out the two pattern roundups that complete our Ultra Violet theme.
