Lots of Texture Made Easy in the Lerato Wrap

There’s something really fun about using stitch patterns in knitting projects. Maybe it forces you to pay more attention than just knitting Garter Stitch or Stockinette, which makes it more meditative.

Maybe all the fun stitch work makes you more interested in seeing how it comes out so you knit faster, so even a big project feels like it doesn’t take that much time.

I don’t know. But I do know that the Lerato Wrap by Noma Ndlovu gives you lots of opportunities to play with texture while making a long, warm and cozy wrap.

It’s worked in Aran weight yarn and has panels of stitch patterns that run across the length of the wrap. And while it might look complex, the patterns are all made with knit and purl stitches, so this is a great project for a newer knitter looking to step up to a project that’s a little more involved.

The pattern is available on Ravelry for $5.50.

One of my missions as a crafter is to encourage people to use what they have to make something great. Accumulating stash is fun, but at some point you realize that you have more than you can ever use, and that can be really overwhelming.

A couple of years ago I wrote a book called How to Declutter Your Craft Supplies, which is all about why it’s so hard to let go of stash and how to deal with it. This is something I still struggle with and I’m in the midst of cleaning out my office/studio yet again (seriously, how can I still have so much stuff when I’m not buying anything new?).

If you’re gearing up for spring cleaning (or fall cleaning!) you need to check out the Get Organized Toolkit, of which my book is a part. This collection of more than 60 ebooks, courses, guides and printables will help you organize your home, business, mind and life.

There are so many great products here, from decluttering guides to advice on how to organize your book collection, cleaning up your iPhone and dealing with mental clutter. You’ll learn all about minimalism, get a planner to help you stay on top of home maintenance and learn how to build a capsule wardrobe, among other things. It’s a great way to get a lot of helpful advice all at once to help you lead a more organized and peaceful life.

The bundle is on sale through March 29. You can read more about it on my blog or go here to buy. And if you have specific questions about decluttering craft supplies or using your stash I would love to hear them!
