Welcome to the BellaOnline Crochet Newsletter.
 
We've got some new things for you to take a look at whilst you are enjoying these long summer evenings.  We have an interview with crochet designer, Tess Dawson, who besides designing runs a busy online yarn store and has just published her first book.  Tess tells us about learning to crochet in Malaysia, how she balances work and family life, plus some tips for would-be designers.  BellaOnline Interview.

In addition to this, we have a couple of new projects crocheting items for the garden.  One is a simple idea for crocheting garden bunting, and the second is for a garden candle holder.  Both of these projects use string and are quick, low cost and easy to produce.  Garden Bunting, Garden Candle Holder.

Very soon now, thoughts will be turning to crocheting 'back to school' projects.  I'd love to hear about any projects that you are working on, or ideas for things to crochet for school.  I plan to write an article about this in the next couple of weeks and it would be great to include some of your thoughts.

Remember to pop into the BellaOnline Crochet forum, and if you have any questions or comments do not hesitate to contact me.
