OUR FATHERS CELEBRATED

JUNE 19th, 2016

Give The Gift of True Authenticity

As Wikipedia states...

"Father's Day is a celebration honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society."

...and since President Lyndon Johnson officially declared Father’s Day a national holiday in 1966 and President Richard Nixon signed this day into law as the third Sunday of June, neckties have always been such a popular gift to give but to be different can mean drawing a complete blank.  However, here is a new perspective on what to shop for in the spirits of showing Dad how much you appreciate him by giving a special token of love with purpose.

This set of potholders is made with a Dallas Cowboys print fabric with a solid dark blue fabric on the back and the binding both are 100% cotton. These would make great tail gate potholders or family gatherings on game day. These can also be used on your dining table as a trivet.No two pairs are exactly the same and all potholders are made with 100% cotton. I have gone one step further with my potholders and have added two layers of cotton batting plus 1 layer of insul bright material to keep your fingers from being burnt. They are machine stitched and machine quilted in a smoke free and pet free home.

Stefani Thompson fromLarannsHook says:
My dad use to say he was an optometrist in his spare time. :-) the man's hands were always busy! From fixing cars, making jewelry, and repairing player pianos to working with wood. I know that's where I get my constant drive to make things from... Thanks Dad!

I handmade this manly pom hat with warmth in mind, but so many men are wearing them 24/7 now days it seems, that everyday use is in style . 
So gift your man, or yourself, with this Chunky Pom hat I like to call "Pom's Away!"

A Collaboration Between Knotty Crochet Team Members

By Joanne from Seeapin

First a little history around my Flower Wall Hangings. Our Nelson Creative Fiber Group made two Hangings of poppies
for Anzac Day ( Australia New Zealand Army Corps ) in 2015. I was involved in this project.
We made approximately 5000 poppies. These Hangings are in our beautiful Nelson Cathedral. And look stunning.
You can see photos of these on https://www.facebook.com/NelsonCreativeFibre posted April 2015
If you do happen to check out this post. The answer is yes I'm in the photos.

It was this that inspired me to make a much smaller version that touches my heart every time I look at them.

Now to National Crochet Month & Breast Cancer

I don't think anyone is not affected by this disease either personally, a close family member or a close friend.
The research that is done world wide goes a long way.  Personally my mum was involved in a pilot study in New Zealand that saved her life.
And I'm sure we all know of our own team captains personal battle.

So I thought of this crazy idea to make a Pink Flower Wall Hanging  as a collaboration of our Knotty Crochet Team Members.  It will be a Wall Hanging with a lot of love and a well traveled one by the time it is finished.
Our members are spread world wide so how cool will this be.
So excited about seeing all your beautiful flowers.
