Welcome to the August issue of Potter Craft News! Oh . . . the heat. The humidity. The heat AND humidity. August may not be a very popular month for many, but it is one of my favorites. For me, it is a romantic month because my husband proposed to me one August day in the rose garden at the New York Botanical Garden. That was a very special day, but August is flush with other varieties of romance too. This month we celebrate Annie Modesitt’s take on the concept in her new book Romantic Hand Knits. (When you see the cover of this book, you’ll know why an August debut was a must for a book this hot.) Romance is not necessarily about romantic love, but it is also about dreams. As Annie writes in the book’s introduction, "Romance is wish fulfillment, a belief that a certain type of perfection is possible within our imperfect lives. Romance is hope, surrendering ourselves to the quest for that perfection." (For more of Annie Modesitt, see the interview below.) What better way to embrace romance and a love of life than through the hazy days of August! Enjoy the rest of the summer!
