Welcome to the first of 2 special episodes The Thoughtful Knitter video journal, where we visit some older knits and I answer your questions. I hope you feel very welcome here 💙

These videos have been thoughtfully created and produced with the chronically (& transiently) exhausted knitter in mind:

~ Eclectic Crafting MAL ~
Currently running (from 21st December 2021 - 20th March 2022).
A chance to dabble in crafts other than your main love. ALL crafts are welcome…if you can make it with your hands, it qualifies! Works in progress are eligible, and please feel free to double dip with other MALs.

You can participate by posting to Instagram using the hashtag #eclecticcraftingmal or by emailing your pictures directly to me ([email protected]). Prizes will be drawn from a separate Instagram hashtag (#eclecticcraftingmalfo) and from finished object photos that have been emailed.  I hope to feature your photos in my episodes, so do let me know if you’d prefer that I didn’t.

There is a chat channel for this MAL set up on Discord (https://discord.com).
See Community Tab on this channel for more info.

If you are a maker and would like to donate a prize I would love for you to get in touch via Instagram (  / thethoughtfulknitter  , Ravelry (https://www.ravelry.com/people/Coasta..., or by email ([email protected]).
