We had the second week of Friday craft at our house, another full (34 people!), productive and enjoyable day. Everyone came with their second hand wool sweaters already felted (washed in hot water and dried until it shrinks tight). I was prepared with patterns for winter hats (from Handmade Home) , a very simple hat to make and personalize. Many of the kids made these with flowers, letters or special designs on theirs. I also had patterns for fingerless gloves, which are another fall staple at our house. There were also bags, leg warmers and hot water bottles being made.
It is always so great to hear the kids talk about how proud they are of what they have created. The excitement they have in using or wearing it, or the plans of the perfect person to gift with it.
As each week passes everyone gets to know each other a little better, a few of us moved here in the last year and another is new to homeschooling. We come together to craft but really we are all there to build a group, a support.
