About this episode

What does "Crafting Made Simple" mean to you?

This episode is about exploring what yarn does for you beyond just making something pretty. This realization can help you identify your strengths and help you understand how to share those strengths in the crochet and knitting community. Simplicity and stories can help us identify what type of crafter we are, why we do what we do and how to inspire the next generation so they can enjoy these things too.

To help me with this is Jen from Stitch and Story, a resource that's dedicated to simplifying the often complex processes in our craft. Jen and I had a wonderful chat about our personal experiences with learning aspects of the knitting and crochet, something we're both very passionate about sharing.
