Jeremy Trim has been enamored with tales of swords in stones and knights in shining armor since childhood; with his elegant Grill Master set, you can turn your next weenie roast into a site for some frankfurter derring-do. Handmade at Grapevine Forge, his smithy in West Milton, Ohio, the iron and steel set includes a barbecue fork, spatula, and six skewers, with a choice of handles and finishes.

Suspend this divinely comfortable hammock chair under your favorite tree for some late-summer lolling. It’s handwoven by members of Twin Oaks, an intentional community in rural Virginia; the soft, durable Envirope made of recycled soda bottles means you can feel as good about the planet as you feel relaxing in the seat. The hammock has a sturdy oak frame and comes with customized hardware, so you can also hang it inside from a ceiling joist come winter.

This fuzzy wonder comes from Mara Arber of San Jose, California, who has been knitting up a storm for more than 30 years. (“Sometimes I can’t stop,” says the self-styled knitting addict.) She made the first one for her daughter, a fan of the summer music scene, who requested something suitably festive. Made of soft synthetic yarn with an elastic waistband, it moves with you for maximum enjoyment at any free-spirited gathering.
