needlework kits launching this month from We Are
Knitters. The stitchy experts have taken the traditional
technique and reinvented it with mindfulness and
creativity in mind. The five designs have each been created
at four different levels – beginner, easy, intermediate
and advanced,
to ensure that
there’s something
to suit every
stitcher. Priced
