craftyNational Craft Month – March 2026
In March, it’s the end of winter and a great time to blossom outward into National Craft Month to show what you’ve been making by hand during the short, cold days of the season past.
Admittedly, the word “crafting” covers a whole lot of territory. At one time, the word “craft” was synonymous with “trade,” meaning skilled labor in a particular area, such as weaving, engine repair, carpentry, etc. It was not uncommon for guilds to be founded based upon a shared set of skills in these and other areas of production. But in current times we’ve come to understand that “crafting” refers to those skills practiced more creatively and with a vision unique to each artisan. Some examples are knitting and crocheting, scrapbooking, leatherworking, wood burning, fly tying, jewelry making, anything created by hand that has an artistic aspect to it but is not strictly “fine art.”
What are your craft plans for March? I've got several possibilities but haven't decided which to try next month.

Date: 2026-02-13 02:18 pm (UTC)I'm planning on continuing to work on my knitting projects, 2 scarfs. I'm also hoping to learn crochet. I did my first swatch this month & saved it. But I haven't had time to put into it with the move.
I'm also hoping to learn some rug making, specifically with old clothes since we are moving to a place with no carpets. It will be easier to clean but I know I will want rugs for some areas.

Good progress.

Rag rugs are often braided, round or straight. They can also be woven, knitted, crocheted, or knotted. It depends what texture you want.
