Description
This week the WeCrochet Podcast is inspired by the concept of slow living: a lifestyle emphasizing slower approaches to everyday living, and being intentional about how you spend your time, money, and your life. Crafting has a long history within slow living and crochet has a big role in that. From crocheting baskets, bags and garments, things that are made from hand have a lot of benefits. Yes, you can crochet a sweater! Sara and Heather share top tips for crocheting sweaters. After asking the crochet community, "what are your crochet resolutions for 2020" many people said that they wanted to crochet a sweater. Sara offers her tips of things to keep in mind as you approach making a crochet sweater. Next, learn about how our new Upcycle Reserve yarn is made, why it's like the delicious casserole of the yarn world, and get some suggestions on what to crochet with it. What's new with WCP? Well the WeCrochet Podcast is also gearing up to celebrate National Crochet Month. Find out how you can celebrate with us. We're also wrapping up the Brava Beanie CAL and launching a new Crochet A-Long. Then Heather talks to Jewel, of Our Maker Life, who tells us about the OML community and gives us her advice for how to embrace the slow living lifestyle. Last, Heather snags Regan to talk about his experience crocheting his first sweater. They have also renamed the podcast to the Ree Ree and Hey Hey show.
