Smart Knitting Needlecraft - Ephemera 3 six

And now... it's back. Smart Knitting Needlecraft! So very many apologies to you for neglecting to continue the scans. I'll do my best to keep it up, as well as chucking a number of other things in here and there for variety. Please enjoy! :)

Again, I'm not a baby person, but hey-ho, enjoy the goodies.

Another scanning session with the knitting, needlecraft, and crochet book/magazine. Good gifts for the holiday season... neat little knitted animals and such. And I'm not into babies, toddlers, or children of any sort. I am keen on these things, however, nod in admiration at those who create them, and happily, yes, keep a menagerie of stuffed/knitted/crocheted animals myself.

Second scanning session from the knitting book/magazine. Thank you to 'Paul Martin's Handmade Revolution' for reminding and inspiring me! Mr Martin's lovable wackiness, massively apparent joie de vivre, and I must admit, cuteness, first got me hooked on his presentation in 'Britain's Hidden Heritage'. The addition of Mary Jane Baxter, milliner extraordinaire and all round lovely-seeming girl (the other two hosts are good as well), make this programme a hoot and a half. So very much crafting--top drawer! (Even if it is excruciatingly obvious that some 'fine art expert' is making the actual decision as to who wins the prize, and not the host-'judges'. It's the inspiration and lovely junk people make that count for me.) Cygnoir, once again, pour vous:

Cygnoir, this is for you. Wow. I feel like a DJ.

More to come from this magazine.
