A Note From the Editor
Too soon, it seems, the holidays are once again upon us, and our crocheted gifts for family and friends should be completed and ready to gift wrap. But, as we crocheters know, the best-laid plans for finishing those holiday gifts don't always come together as the days catch up with us all too quickly.
Not to worry. We have jam-packed this issue with as many projects as we could possibly fit to give you lots of great ideas for easy gift-giving. You'll especially want to check out our Last-Minute Gifts & Goodies section. All of the projects featured there can be made in six hours or less, so there is still plenty of time to get some of those last-minute gifts finished and crossed off your list! In addition, you'll also find a number of other quick, easy projects throughout the issue that are great gift ideas as well.
I hope you will enjoy all of the creative projects we have chosen with care for your holiday crocheting, and may you and yours have a warm, wonderful and blessed holiday season!
Warm regards,
Carol Alexander, Executive Editor
