What Do You Want to Make Today?
I love knitting with needles, of course, but it’s always kind of a fun trick to make familiar things in unfamiliar ways, such as with finger knitting. I was reminded his fun finger knitting is when I taught the girl, who isn’t quite ready for knitting with needles just yet. It’s a quick and easy […]
One thing that is a fun creative challenge is to combine different materials or genres of art or craft into the same project. I know somewhere once I saw a list of a bunch of different crafty mashups, and I’m pretty sure I pinned it, but of course now I can’t find it, but when […]
