YarnCraft Episode 11 :: Yarn as Art & Easy Ways to Add Excitement to Your Projects

What happens when art meets craft? In this episode, we ask Natalie Zee Drieu, senior editor of Craft Magazine, and Sabrina Gschwandtner, editor and founder of the Knit Knit art journal to share their takes on the relationship between yarncrafting and art–from the resurgence of knitting and crochet to yarn “graffiti” and “subversive knitting.” Also, find out about easy ways to embellish your projects in our regular segment, Stash This.

See more of the cool things going on in the craft world at the Craft Magazine blog.
