Welcome to the September issue of Potter Craft News!

Dear Crafters,

Just because September is here that doesn’t mean the fun has to end. For many of us, the real fun is just about to begin. As temperatures dip, I betray my Southern Californian roots and yearn for even cooler weather. Like other fiber-loving fiends, I look forward to busting out the wool, cashmere, and alpaca yarns that have been packed away all summer. This month we have two books from Potter Craft alumnae—Suss Cousins and Doris Chan—that will help satisfy the yarn lust. Suss brings knitters a “best of” collection of favorite staples from her fashion line, Suss Design. Doris Chan offers crocheting fans an equally fresh take on a crocheted wardrobe.

For those who don’t suffer from yarn lust, we’re thrilled to introduce you to John Loecke. Named one of America’s Top Young Designers by House Beautiful, this interior design guru offers myriad ideas for dressing up you and your home with grosgrain ribbon. John Loecke’s Grosgrain Style will show you how to add sparkle and style to your belts, necklaces, pillows, and dish towels—all quickly and easily.

Whether you are unwinding yarn or unspooling ribbon, our books will give you style by the yard!
