Make a bold, smart move and blaze your path forward when the smart blue comes in to pair with the passionate red, curious purple, and quick yellow!

Baking Is The Best Part

Slip right into the September season by taking the chill out of the house at 475°… That’s right, cherry pie! Glow up the oven with sweet, sensational tones of subdued reddish-pinks and soft, graham cracker browns. Cradled by the steadiness of warm neutrals, staying in has never smelled so good.

Retro-Rebel Nostalgia

Remember when this sort of weather meant new Chuck Taylors and a walkman (...or iPod ;)) at the bus stop? Take a walk down memory lane with the spunky gumption of 90’s jewel tones, and pretend that September is still the beginning of the year. Whoa… That’s like, a total mind-game. This sassy shade of teal is curious, but it is greyed-down, so it isn’t too interested, or anything. You know, whatever.

However you choose to swatch and style your September, Happy Crafting! It’s a great time to be a knitter or crocheter, full of creation, and opportunities… because everyone you know is about to get chilly.
