Sylvia's creative nook

l’ve started to learn several new crafts with wool this year, but none impacts me as much as nålebinding, a craft where you use a wooden or bone sewing needle to create woollen objects like gloves, headbands or scarves.

Above is my current on the go project, a cowl.

I’m using a bone needle I’ve found on Etsy and I love it.

Nothing makes me feel as centred as this craft does, even crafts I’ve done for many years.

There’s just me, a needle and a length of wool, and a stitch that took me a while to learn.

I love that it is natural to me now, and even if I have several crafts waiting for me to finish them, this is what keeps calling for me.

And I let it.
