Whether you’re an experienced crafter or a wannabe, you’ve got plenty of company this gift-giving season.
According to a study by the National Retail Federation, 16.7% of U.S. consumers plan to make more gifts this year. This number includes people who have not made gifts in the past. Other, less formal, studies show that, among crafters, roughly 60% will make gifts this year.
We’re doing our part here at the Cottage to supply you with the finest materials and a variety of patterns to suit any skill level. And if your brain is too fried to put together a project, just pick out one of our kits and start to work.
Crafting can also be a family tradition to continue or to start in 2010. If you want to bring a family member in to learn to knit or crochet, just give us a call.
Featured here is a hounds tooth crocheted bag made by our very own Kathy Cruse. Several other bags here in the shop will inspire you to new creative heights!
Noni bags are bags to be worn, not just carried. They are, like jewelry or any adornment, extensions of our personalities.
As knitters, we value the feel of natural fibers and the animals and plants from which they come. This year we’ve decided to partner with The Heifer Project, whose work I so admire, to donate enough to buy four wool-producing animals for families in need. These animals will give new hope to families. We invite you to join us in this worthy initiative.
