At this time of year, it can be so easy to fall into a little bit of a slump as the days take their time getting longer and dryer. So, I think it’s important to inject some joy and colour wherever you can, and to that end I thought ‘what could be more colourful than a day out at the fair?’.

Update your wardrobe with Lauren Willis’ Peppermint Cardigan which holds DK and halo lace yarn together throughout for a gentle and trendy fluffy finish. Accessorise with Zoe Potrac’s amazing popcorn bag and Victoria Tyser’s colourful Fun at the Fair shawl, or perhaps you’re looking for something a little more sophisticated? In which case you should hook up the Charlotte’s Evening stole designed by Shabnam Mirzaei.

If you like blankets then you will love what we have in store for you this issue – from a jaw-dropping merry-go-round C2C blanket to an ornate Flora Quilt. My personal favourite though this month, are the Peanuts baby loveys; what little one wouldn’t love to cuddle their very own Snoopy and Woodstock?!

While we can’t necessarily rely on the weather to keep us entertained, we’ve brought you a bumper pattern collection to keep you warm, snuggly and busy! From an inspirational spring wardrobe collection from the lovely folk at King Cole, to a pocket-book of granny squares for you to take on the go for inspiration no matter where you are, you are certain to find something you will love to make this month!
