The tradition of dollmaking is so so special. For many of us, our first encounter with handcrafts and the creativity they inspire was through the dolls we were given as children. And continuing the generations-old practice of creating playmates for the children (or grown-ups!) in our lives is one of the best ways we keep the flame of imagination alive.

There’s nothing quite like a Nordic knit, and no one knows them better than Finland-based Laine Publishing. That’s why we’re thrilled they’ve curated an extra special collection of Laine Nordic Knits, which is available to preorder today!

It may be only the kids heading back to school, but even as a grown-up this time of year always conjures exciting memories about getting ready for the year ahead. Picking out notebooks and pencils, cracking the spine on new textbooks, maybe even getting a new backpack or book bag.
