MixedIn September I reflected on how beginners might take the next step in their knitting and crochet hobby. Now that the holidays will be here soon, there are many ways to use yarn to make the season bright. It’s a wonderful time to enjoy your craft, add loving touches to your home and give homey things to friends and family.
For newbie crocheters here are a few ideas for the holiday season... Of course, experienced crocheters who want to make it quick will be interested in these, too... Perhaps you could have a yarn decorating and gift party and help each other with your projects!
