“ What good is the warmth of summer , without the cold of winter to give it sweetness ?”
— John Steinbeck
I don ’ t know about you , but it is cold where I live ! We bundle up with coats and blankets nearly every day , and I have been sending the kids off to school in their crocheted hats and scarves ! It ’ s definitely time for lots of layers . We don ’ t get a lot of snow here , but it is often very cold , cloudy , and rainy … can I wear boot cuffs with my rain boots ? I may just give that a try !
This “ Bold and Beautiful ” issue is full of gorgeous , cozy accessories that are sure to add some color and pizazz to your winter wardrobe . Inside , you ’ ll find hats , cowls , shawls , wrist warmers , and more ! Now that the holiday season is over , I do hope you will make time to crochet something beautiful and warm for yourself !
