Crafting on the Go
- What do we mean by this?
- Bringing crafts to a
- vacations
- doctors office
- friends house
- coffee shop
- Bringing crafts to a
- What is the most unhinged crafting on the go you’ve ever done?
- Theresa: I once knit a baby sweater while pregnant on a bachelorette trip in Napa. I even ran out of yarn and found a JoAnns to go to for more. Wasn’t too crazy because I was traveling, but didn’t really fit the vibe of the trip
- Cecelia: I’ve been known to bring some cross stitch to the bars for a trivia night – usually I bring my crafts to friends houses. I’ve been know to also bring a whole duffle bag full of different craft options
- Can you craft in the car?
- Theresa: if it is a plain knit stitch I can, because I can do that without looking, but if I have to read a pattern, or visually concentrate, absolutely not
- Cecelia: I can only really crochet in the car. I get car sick so fast and crochet stitches are easy to feel and require less looking up and down for me.
- What are some of your favorite crafts to bring on the go?
- Knitting smaller items (hats, socks, cowls)
- Embroidery & cross stitch
- Also easy to do small embroidery on clothes while on a trip
- Cross stitched a fire truck on my son’s shirt.
- Doodling, drawing, or bullet journaling
- Other Options:
- English Paper Piecing or hand quilting something small (bags, pillows)
- Bring a craft to share! (Beading, friendship bracelets)
- Trash journaling to document a trip or a place
- Make paper cranes and leave them places
