As the days get shorter and the air cooler, and as you begin to spend less time outdoors, it is a great time to indulge in an old crafting hobby or pick up a new crafting skill.
Here are some newly published titles that you can check out with your Library card, that cover a range of handicrafts—knitting, crochet, cross-stitch, embroidery—and more. Also included are two personal accounts of the therapeutic uses of crafting– as a coping mechanism to overcome difficult times or to restore mental health and sanity.
