Giveaway- SereKNITy: Peaceful Projects to Soothe and Inspire

Leave a comment in today’s post by June 1, 2017 and you are in the running for this lovely knitting book filled with little zakka projects along with scarves and shawls.

Open to U. S. residents only please.

In today’s fast-paced world everyone is looking for ways to slow down, recharge, and appreciate the small, meaningful details of everyday life. SereKNITy: Peaceful Projects to Soothe and Inspire gives readers the perfect outlet with a collection of more than twenty-five knitting and crocheting patterns united by one all-compassing idea: finding peace.

The projects here are not the complicated sweater patterns found in traditional knitting guides, but simple, beautiful objects anyone can create. Practical crafts, like fingerless gloves and mug cozies, are featured alongside more meditative patterns, like granny squares and crocheted flowers. Each is paired with an inspirational, intention-setting prompt and falls under an overarching theme-Color, Texture, or Structure-that encourages knitters and crocheters of all skill levels to be fully present in the moment.

Fiber artist Nikki Van De Car gently guides readers to look inward as they work, releasing their anxiety as they create something beautiful. For experienced knitters and novices alike, this is meditative crafting of the very best kind.
