Moms and Crafters
When it comes to craft-a-day calendars, what happens if you miss a few?
These stitch-a-day calendars are good forever. Miss a stitch this year, do them next year! In fact, I highly recommend finding a way to mark which stitches were tried. Either way, these are fabulous gifts for knitters and crocheters to build on their existing skillset.
The sturdy spiral bound calendars unfold to stand up, and flip over to the other side midway through the year. They are written out in patterns, making them super cool, affordable gifts for the proficient knitter or crocheter in your life. And there are so many beautiful, fresh ideas – they are great for unleashing new ways to be creative.
These next-level stitches are absolutely gorgeous and inspiring. Try them all in swatches, and then choose which one you’d like to turn into a complete project.
