Crafting brings pleasure and joy and is fun to do.
Encouraging kids to use their imaginations to create is a great way to introduce them to craft.
Getting them to explore a topic such as ‘Animals’ opens up a whole world of craft activities. Who knows, maybe a bit of learning will happen too? 🙂
This week’s Top 10 in Craft features Animal Crafts that the little crafters in your life will love.
Just a little reminder that Amazon Prime Day is on today, the15 July and tomorrow 16 July. I will be sharing the fabulous craft and knitting deals on my Prime Day post and will keep updating it over the two days. Be sure to let me know what bargains you find 🙂
On My Needles
Or should I say off my needles!
I’ve finished my latest dishcloth; Boysen by Joyce Fassbender for Knit Picks.
It’s highly textured and the knitted fabric is very thick. I liked the simple repeating pattern and practicing cables without a cable needle.
That’s the end of my yarn supply. Local friends have been able to find a store that sells yarn. This week I plan to make a visit. I wonder what I’ll find?
In my search to find yarn in Romania, I came across a small family business that is preserving traditional Romanian Yarn.
Moeke Yarns produce yarn from Romanian sheep with traditional methods and no harmful chemicals, and it’s spun in a traditional fiber mill.
The yarn looks gorgeous and rustic.
If you love bare wool, you’ll enjoy taking a look.
Chroma Yarn by Knit Picks have some gorgeous color combinations.
They’re on sale for the month of July for a lower price. Take a look here.
