Another class in the books!!

6/20 Edited to

... Read moreAttending the chunky knit class hosted by Merriman and Pfisters was such a rewarding experience. As someone who loves crafting cozy home items, learning to create chunky knit blankets added a new dimension to my skills. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the instructors were patient and knowledgeable, making it easy for both beginners and those with some knitting experience to follow along. I appreciated how the event encouraged creativity and sharing — it was great seeing everyone’s unique approaches to their projects. Chunky knitting is not only a relaxing hobby but also a practical way to make personalized blankets that add warmth and style to any home. The thick yarn and large needles meant the blankets progressed quickly, making it satisfying to see results in a short time. Plus, the handmade quality makes these blankets perfect gifts for friends and family. If you’re considering taking up chunky knitting, I highly recommend looking out for local classes or events hosted by craft stores like Merriman and Pfisters. These sessions provide useful techniques, materials, and community support to keep your crafting journey enjoyable. Overall, this class has inspired me to keep experimenting with chunky knit designs and share my creations using tags like #blissfulblanketsbylisa, #chunkyknit, and #imadethat. It’s rewarding to connect with other makers and exchange ideas that fuel my passion for handmade crafts.

Who doesn’t love a book you can read in one sitting or at least over 24 hours?? Most of these books are literary fiction (i say most, i mean all but one) so you won’t see many fantasy or sci-fi elements here. But that doesn’t make them less good! I finally found my flavor of book once i started

Another Elin Hilderbrand summer in the books ✅
Finished Swan Song, and I absolutely LOVE how Elin Hilderbrand encompasses the small town feel of Nantucket, the characters from her other books, all the tea, AND manages to still have a plot (or plots) within them. It’s crazy and I simply can’t get enough! Thank you for another great summer read 🫶
