Topic: The feeling and smell of a brand new skein of yarn is magical, the way it feels in your hands and on your needles, the beautiful shawl or sweater it will become. But how often do we consider the people that have had a hand in creating our yarn before it is ours. #knit #crochet

Highlights from Sarah's presentation: There are many ways to play–collector, competitor, explorer, storyteller-and all can be expressed through crafting. Gnomes are never about "should". You make them because you want to. Making gnomes is quick, and each individual piece gives you a hit of dopamine.
