We experience the world through our senses.
All too often, though, we ignore what our senses
are telling us. We attend to our thoughts and
emotions while neglecting what the body
teaches us. By tuning in to the senses, we can
heighten the beauty of any experience.
Autumn is the perfect season to practice this because there are so many
richly indulgent sensations that come to us in fall. By incorporating
attention to the senses into our craft experience, we can increase the
benefi ts that we get from crafting.THE SENSE OF SIGHT
We drink in life through our eyes.
When we see a beautiful scene, we
can be moved to tears. Crochet
brings us so many opportunities to
indulge in what our eyes can see. It
all starts with the yarn, which can
be so rich in color, as well as with
the details of the fi ber strands. It
continues with the stitches; we can
make such interesting patterns
through our stitch choices. Plus, of
course, the fi nished project is a
sight to behold.
Autumn is the perfect time to
choose rich, warm colors that are aENHANCE YOUR CRAFT
