"Changing Patterns" announcement

What do Tinking, Frogging, Toads, Princes, UFOs & the meaning of knots have to do with improving the quality of your life?





Wren Ross and Daena Giardella are pleased to announce the release of their new book.
CHANGING PATTERNS: Discovering the Fabric of Your Creativity. Published by Hay House. Join us for some Author Events!! (See below.)


CHANGING PATTERNS invites readers to explore the power of creativity as a vital tool for self-development, change, and fulfillment. It helps people find ways to overcome the patterns that keep them from being creative in order to live a more meaningful life.


"If you long to reclaim your creative self, look no further- the journey is outlined right here in the pages of this wonderful book! By exploring the complexity and joy of the creative process and then giving you an opportunity to use it, Daena and Wren offer a unique way to unwrap your creative gifts so you can share them with the world!"
Cheryl Richardson, New York Times bestselling author of Take Time for Your Life


In the first part of this book, Daena Giardella takes a fascinating look at how developing a dynamic relationship with your creative process can change your life. By understanding the psychological stages of the creative process, learning to define your unique work cycles, and making peace with your inner critic, you’ll learn to overcome the obstacles that keep you stuck, so you can finally allow creativity to take center stage in your life with passion and confidence.

In the second part, Wren Ross invites you to experience the power of the creative process using knitting as an active form of meditation. “Knitting is a profound metaphor for life,” says Ross, “by observing how you begin and end a project, get out of tangles, and deal with mistakes, you'll see how the act of creation can teach you a lot about yourself.” Included are two simple and beautiful projects designed to help you reflect upon your personal life patterns.

Available at Circles the night of the event.

Sponsoring the Knitting Olympics

So, have you heard of the Knitting Olympics. Only the Yarn Harlot could create such a knitting frenzy. Knitters everywhere are diving into their Olympic trial workouts to prepare for the opening ceremonies on February 10th.

And now you can join Team Boston. When you do, you can get a 10% discount on the materials for your project. 15% on the day of the opening ceremonies. (We figure you'll need a little relief from all that "Oh, how did this day get here so soon" pre-competition anxiety at that point.)
