New to craft, so where to start?



Christmas crackers pulled, turkey is long gone, and that strange period between Christmas and New Year takes hold.  Bit at a loss on what to do?  This is the perfect time to try out a new hobby or bring an old back to life.  Sometimes put off by past experiences or the belief that things are harder than they really are.

Crafting is becoming very popular but where do you start, that is the hard bit unless you have a Grannie to hand to show you.  For children it is easy but finding starter kits for adults can prove a challenge.  They do exist and they make life easy by bringing together all you need or much of it.


There are so many old wives tales around putting people off.  Crochet it not difficult unless you take up fine lace work, it is less stress than knitting, as your pretty much only responsible for one stitch at a time, not a whole row!  French knitting, cotton reel with four pins on top is not just for kids, you can make quite sophisticated designs from mug hugs to coasters.

So dive in, see what kits you can find, get help from the vast number of video's on You Tube, books or find a local craft club or centre where you can try out your hobby with others, picking up hints and tips as you go.

All is revealed



The mystery is solved, hugs lots of them.  The cheeky picture was that of a cotton mug hug wrapping around a lovely Laura Ashley mug.  The magic is that it is not conventional knitting or crochet but French Knitting.  Yes woolly worms carefully worked to make a mug hug.  This is knitting for the totally terrified as not only is it easy with tension a breeze and casting on a doddle we went the extra mile working the pattern in cotton.  Cotton yarn is less fluffy than wool so yet again even easier.  Seek It Out is all about in comfort zone crafting with great outcomes.  Seek It Out wants everyone to be filling the world woolly worm beauty.

The Seek It Out team have created a new kit.  This French Knitting kit contains all you need and more to make up to 9 items.  We give you really detailed and in depth instructions to cover all those questions that never get answered.  We tried many ideas but decided lovely silky cotton yarn was the answer and gives great results.  So have a go, it could not be easier no longer need you be terrified!
French Knitting is the answer to all our woes.
Seek It Out changing the world a stitch at a time!
