Knitting-the-New-Way! Cosy fun at Last Night's Creativity Central

Last night was the first night we used the wonderful Authentic Knitting Boards donated by the Authentic Knitting Board Company - and these knitting boards are amazing!  You don't need to know a thing about knitting to make something colorful and fun and useful, in just a few hours.    Here are a few photos, and I think we all gave these wonderful knitting boards a thumbs up!

A handbag, a beautiful lush velour placemat, and a knit scarf.

How can anyone not want to do one of these fun projects, once you see all the glorious colors and textures!
Our heartfelt THANK YOU Note to the generous folks at Authentic Knitting Board


Allyson mastered the knitting board with record speed.


Some of the fun projects we made using the super-easy Authentic Knitting Board!  The pearlish object is from an old discarded necklace.  Fun way to recycle!

Happy concentration while using the Authentic Knitting Board - the project being done is the strap for the handbag.
