Now that it’s officially summer in the Northern Hemisphere it’s time to break out the bright colors, lacy fabrics and ocean motifs for your crafting projects. Here are a few ideas to get you started. Happy crafting!


Summer Fun Citrus Starfish Bracelet

This cute beadwork bracelet uses sea glass starfish and beads as well as crystals and is worked on a beading loom. It’s a great way to bring the feeling of the beach wherever you happen to be.

Eyelet Cowl Knitting Pattern

This eyelet-covered, cotton-blend cowl is another great project for adding a bit of warmth when you feel cold in the summer. It’s a really easy project, too, even if you’ve never worked in the round or done any lace knitting before.
