Where on earth has summer gone? It's hard to believe that the State Fair starts this week and it's almost time to send the kids back to school.  We've been having some beautiful weather, so that makes it easy to enjoy these last couple of weeks.

The Loops and Ridges scarf is a lovely crochet pattern with lots of texture.  It uses worsted weight yarn, so consider Malabrigo Rios or Plymouth Encore for lots of color options.

The Forest of Firs socks use a slip stitch pattern to give it the forest-like texture.  Knit in fingering weight, we recommend La Bien Aimee Super Sock or Six and Seven Fiber's Alfalfa.
