Here’s what we have learnt in 2020

Both crocheting and knitting are amazing crafts that make us feel relaxed and gives us the peace which we always yearn for. Our grandmas have been knitting and its a tradition passed down through centuries. In this modern world however, it’s hard to find people engaging in a simple and relaxing life. Then how can we make these crafts a part of lives? In the recent years and especially in 2020, our generation has promoted aesthetics like cottagecore, grandmacore, honeycore etc. which introduce us to the benefits of simple living and learning arts. And the fun part is that we don’t actually need to live in a cottage to experience it. We can make our homes cozy. We can bake breads, plant saplings, try gardening in the little space we have and knit in the afternoons while listening to bird sounds. The idea is beautiful and many people have successfully brought elements of these aesthetics into their real lives and it does make a huge difference.

The purpose of this blog is to encourage more people to learn knitting and crochet, to buy handmade clothing items and to invest in small businesses that provide us yarn and amazing handmade stuff. Knitting and crochet are for everyone. Anyone interested can be a part of this beautiful community no matter what your age is or your gender.
