It has been such a fun week or so getting re-inspired by all things crochet in 2016. We’ve reviewed crochet art, books, designers, fashion, health, news, patterns, tips and tutorials. Now let’s look back at the creativity exercises I published this year, mostly as part of my Hook to Heal book.

Spring Cleaning: Organize!!
I also wrote a series of posts for the Craftsy spring cleaning project, helping crafters to organize and declutter their crafty spaces. I write a lot about this in Hook to Heal and consider it an important part of the process of crocheting for wellness so I was happy to be able to do some more writing on this for Craftsy!
