Day 5 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms-what are you doing? she asked

Hmm, someone messaged me asking me what I was doing with my 100 day project andwhy?

Well, first- I have adored spool knitting since I was a little girl.

Spool knitters feel innocent and sweet and oh, my word! Those feelings are desperately needed nowadays!

And, second: Some Family stuff: My nephew, Kieran is autistic and is really good at doing woodwork with his Dad, my brother, Jonathan. (@distinctivewoodworking) who carefully mentors him with the lathe.

So, bringing those elements together: We decided to co-create some nifty stuff, and it’s kind of challenging but inspiring & wonderful, too!

(BTW I’m working on tutorials on how to make upcycled spool knitters, too, because that feels important).

I’m having a blast designing vunderbar goodies for spool knitters & exploring intriguing small looms!

The 1st spool knitter in this series is my wish for us all:

May you be well

May you live in Peace.

May you be happy,

May you be safe

I find her very comforting

Of course, this project is also about making stuff with spool knitters.

These Simple Tiny Spool Knitted Angels are quick & easy. I love them.

So, here’s to joy, and to 100 days of spool knitters and spool knitting and little looms and to all good things!

Tiny Kindness Angels to Make on the Kindness Loom

When I was a little girl, I adored one of my grandmother’s best friends, Mrs Wall, who was kindness incarnate. She was the perfect Granny, exuding comfort, sanctuary, and gentleness. She taught me crafts from her childhood, which made them a precious legacy. I was thrilled when she taught me how to make ‘Yarn Babies’.

When I was designing Tiny Angels for the Weaving Kindness Project, I decided that they needed to be made using wrapping and stitching and not weaving as an homage to darling Mrs Wall, and all the kind people who make the world a better place.

Happily, I have figured out how to use the ‘Yarn Baby’ technique on the Kindness loom.

I am thrilled with these Tiny Angels.

They’re less than 2 inches (5 cm) tall with my signature ‘Hugging Arms’.

I’ve designed two variations- one with a skirt and one with legs. Their wings are shaped like the infinity symbol.

It’s so soothing to make small things that bring a feeling of connection and community.

Making small Kindness treasures to bring comfort and hope can be incredibly healing.

That’s what the Tiny Kindness Angels are all about. I hope that you’ll make lots of them as gifts of compassion and kindness for yourself and for the people in your life.

We are all in this together, and are not alone on our journey. May we all, like Mrs Wall, but each in our own way- weave a legacy of kindness, compassion, generosity and healing love.
