WILD YARNING | HOW TO COMBINE NATURE WITH YOUR CRAFT

I am passionate about inspiring others to find their creative niche and connect it to nature. The reason I started my blog was to inspire other makers to take their makes into the outdoors; to feel the peace and energy that I feel when I am outside. My goal is to spread the word that nature and yarn combine beautifully and anyone can join in – whether you look out the window while crocheting, create a warm hat to hike in, or climb a mountain with your yarn in your pack. I want to create a community around this idea, so I started the hashtag #wildyarning to get this rolling and am so excited to see people participating. I want everyone to have fun, both creating their makes and then taking them outside!
