Maker Monday
Creative stories to inspire you
Happy Monday, makers!
Welcome to this bonus blast from In the Wool. Maker Spotlights are my favourite articles to write for the newsletter, and they are often the most popular with our subscribers. I think there is so much to learn from other people’s creative experiences, and there’s always some inspiration to take away with you. That’s why I’ve gathered a few of my favourite Maker Spotlight articles for you to read, in the hopes it’ll give your creativity and motivation a boost for the week ahead. All of the makers featured in this email are active on Instagram so I’d highly recommend giving them a follow and supporting them on their crafting journeys. Enjoy!

From bright beginnings and mental health fundraising to beautiful blankets and Disney themed pumpkins, keep reading to learn all about Megan’s crochet journey!
