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!
The “Brea Bag” has become a favorite here at the Cottage. Ours is made from a great cotton yarn for the summer, but we will be knitting our next one from one of our beautiful winter yarns.
