Join Vickie Howell in celebrating the environment with her lovely Cardigan Neutral leaf-stitch sweater. The open neckline and lacy patterning make it a must-have transition piece.

Vickie is a very impromptu designer. Given just the slightest bit of inspiration, she'll whip up a new design in a flash. Take, for example, her Lilly: American Idol-Inspired Earrings. A contestant on the show sparked the idea and Caron's Simply Soft® Paints supplied the unique edge.

Always innovative crochet designer Doris Chan has created a piece that is elegant, fun, practical and versatile. The Athena Tabard Tunic embodies her inventive use of lace patterning and the complimentary edging pulls the whole design together. Crocheted in Spa, the drape and stitchwork of this fashion statement will turn heads.

Rival springtime's parade of buds and blossoms with designer Margret Willson's charming vintage Rose Cardigan, crocheted in Simply Soft® Heather and embroidered with delicate details. Once you stitch the body of this flattering cardi in one piece and attach the sleeves—then the fun begins! You'll create the embroidered scrollwork with a crocheted surface stitch and scatter tiny rosettes as you wish!

If you have a tween (or a tween-at-heart) in your life who loves bold color and appreciates cool textures, then take a closer look at our Tween Pillow & Throw Set. Designed by Kim Guzman and crocheted in three yummy colors of Simply Soft®—Rubine Red, Watermelon and Grape— the pillow features 9 motifs on the front side and a bold 3-color design on the back. The throw coordinates beautifully with a matching 3-color palette of light and lacy stripes. Makes a great heading-to-high-school graduation gift.
