This week’s most notable stuff from the crochet blogosphere:
Something Special
You can win $300 worth of yarn from Juniper Moon Farm (@ShepherdSusie) if you come up with the right word that they’re looking for. They want a word or short phrase to describe”the well-read, thoughtful people who are making deliberate decisions to grow their own food, sew their own clothes, maybe keep a couple of hens or beehives while maintaining a serious profession and living in the city or suburbs”.
Smart Words on Crochet and Creativity
- “You’re Okay at Crochet. Wheelhouses and Calming Mantras.” A @knitpicks post
- Podcast Interview with Sarah Applebaum. I absolutely love the work that Sarah Applebaum does so it was interesting to hear her talk about what inspires her art in this interview with @meigs from My Love For You is a Stampede of Horses.
- A Failed Attempt to Control the Chaos. A guest post from Mostly Nerdy Crochet over @whipup about the chaos of creativity.
