Come with us on a needlecraft journey with a new eBook: PieceWork’s Twelve Months of Ornaments: Knit, Crochet, Tat, and Stitch 14 Charming Designs, where creativity and the stitching traditions of the past meet, and every month brings a unique and approachable needlework project designed to inspire you to pick up your needles. These fourteen projects (yes, we included two bonus projects!) are now compiled into an eBook so you can experience the fun of creating one-of-a-kind needlework projects that will bring enjoyment all year.

Need an antidote to the hectic busyness that life brings? A small project is a perfect way to relax and be rewarded by honing your stitching skills and creating a treasured ornament at the same time. Every project is a small celebration of the pleasure that needlework brings, and a wonderful chance for you to try your hand at knitting, crocheting, needlepoint, silk-ribbon embroidery, surface embroidery, crochet, macramé, and tatting. Learn a new craft or practice a favorite craft in your spare time!

I adore ornaments—it is so nice to incorporate my needlework into my seasonal décor, and they make excellent gifts. Even better, unlike more labor-intensive projects, ornaments rarely require a large commitment of time or money. For example, the skeins of yarn needed for my mini pumpkin hat ornament will permit you to make multiples—some for you and some for your loved ones.

The Twelve Months of Ornaments eBook was inspired by techniques of the past and includes 12 patterns and 2 bonus patterns created by our own PieceWork team. We are delighted to present this eBook to our All Access subscribers as a special thank-you for all the support and warmth you bring us all year round.

Best wishes,
Pat
