Weekly Reader: Love your art, block printing, Knitterpalooza
We had a little surge in Subscribers this week, so hello to everyone new!
Each Friday, I post the stuff— cool projects, inspiring photos, call for artists, events – that I bookmarked that week. I hope you’ll find something in here to inspire your weekend making sessions.
Inspiration:
- Small Magazine is inspiring to even childless ladies like me.
- Do you love the art you create?
- New blog to bookmark: Paper and Stitch
- OMG: Extreme Ironing!

Projects:
- Block Printing Tutorial
- Wrist Pincushion Tutorial
- Matrioshka dolls are so hot right now! Download seme free labels and to-do lists with the round little dolls from A Print A Day. (via CRAFT)
- Speaking of CRAFT — not really a project but — this totally freaks me out. Poor guy!

- Knitterpalooza is Saturday, Sept. 13 in Royal Oak @ Starr Jaycee Park, on 13 Mile. Knitters, crocheters and spinners all welcome. Yarn swap and door prizes. More info in the Ravelry group (registration required). I can’t seem to find a time for this — if you know, please post it for all in the comments.

Thanks for the shout-out about Knitterpalooza! There is no set time for the yarn crawl, but the “after-party” is any time after 2pm at the park. If you want to participate/reap the goodies from the yarn crawl you do have to keep an eye on the Knitterpalooza Ravelry group (to get your passport), but all are welcome at the after-party!
