Inside this month’s issue, you’ll find projects for kids of all ages. With most (not all!) of the focus on the kids, I’ve included a design from our youngest contributor, Rachel! Back to School time is a great time to teach kids to crochet! Parents and children can work together to whip up her quick, easy pattern for earrings. Your kids can even wear them on the first day of school.

You’ll also find some projects just for you! Maybe you didn’t have time during the summer to crochet something just for you, and now you do. Or you might want to start prepping some holiday gifts for teachers. You’ll see projects from tote bags to pencil cases, and school spirit items to baby blocks.

This issue also includes the Stitch of the Month, Tip of the Month, Kathryn’s Crochet Heals and Artist Profile articles, monthly inspiration, and the business advice from Jess at The Yarnpreneur Society. And don’t forget to check out the 2 pattern roundups that complete our “Back to School” theme.
