Madder Making is a semi - annual, themed publication tailored for knitters, crocheters, sewers, weavers, and macramers. Dive into an exciting project led by Carrie Bostick Hoge, the editor, photographer, and designer of Madder. This unique publication unites craftspeople with diverse focuses. Making crafts connects us to the past as many skills were daily necessities. It helps us slow down and enjoy the present, leaving behind daily stress. Our creations can become family heirlooms, tying us to the future and circling back to the past. These connections add meaning and value to both the beauty and utility of our handmade items.

To use Madder Making, simply flip through the pages to discover new knitting, crocheting, sewing, weaving, or macrame projects. You can start with a project that catches your eye right away. When working on the projects, take your time and enjoy the process. For supplies, make sure to use high - quality materials to get the best results. After completing a project, keep it in a dry and clean place to maintain its quality. If your project involves fabric, avoid direct sunlight to prevent color fading. And don't be afraid to put your own spin on the projects in the publication to make them truly yours.
