What do you do for fun?

Folks may have different ideas on the definition of fun, and that’s perfectly okay. Our differences make each of us unique and special. Cami thinks it’s fun to play in the water or pull big sis, Tali, around by her lead. Some folks find fun in fabric and then they... Continue reading

What's Important?

What matters most when crafting? Getting the pattern right? Making sure it fits? Having enough yarn? We agree that getting the pattern right is important. A good fit is essential, and you’re up a creek if you run out of yarn. Crafting is great, and finished projects are gratifying, but... Continue reading

Spring is here!

Flowers are blooming, the temperatures are warmer (some days), and the calendar says spring is officially here. When spring arrives, we think of crafting!

What Are You Doing?

We’re living in that in-between time of year right now. Winter seems to be over, but it’s not spring yet.

Yarn Makes Me Hungry!

Hi! I’m Florrie, and I’m the official mascot of The Wooden Needle. (You may have noticed a certain Lakeland Terrier around here that thinks she’s the mascot. We’ll just let her dream.)
