All the above means we are a true One Stop Shop staffed with people who know and love what they do .... why would you go anywhere else :) Why not hop in and have a look for yourself. Crafty Frog... the name. Many people ask me why I called my business Crafty Frog. Easy it combines my two loves - after my family of course - craft and frogs, and by having a generic name it has enabled me to expand into whatever area I choose, whilst having a business name that couldn’t be forgotten. Those who have been to the shop will by now have seen my beautiful red-eyed green tree frog, sitting on his lily pad complete with needle in mouth and my ever-increasing range of frog mementos decorating the shop.

Sampling retirement 😉. Took the opportunity to hand deliver an expensive and heavy piece of equipment to a customer in Bermagui. While here we're checking out the local eateries and local attractions.... those that are open. Stopped in Braidwood and chatted with Bronwyn at the Quilt shop. All thanks to my fabulous staff who are looking after the shop for me 😊

🧵 **FRIDAY FREEBIE – Friendship Bracelets**

**Got a young crafter looking for their next project?**

Or perhaps you're after something simple, colourful and inexpensive to make with a daughter, granddaughter, friend or group of kids?

This week's Friday Freebie could be just the thing.

The **DMC Festival Friendship Bracelet** is a classic chevron bracelet made using just **three colours of DMC Coton Perlé**.

Friendship bracelets have been made and swapped between friends for generations. They're fun to make, easy to personalise and there's something rather special about choosing the colours specifically for the person who's going to wear it.

🎁 **Get the FREE Festival Friendship Bracelet pattern from DMC:**

https://www.dmc.com/GB/en-GB/products/7th-friendship-bracelet?taxon_id=421

Choose three favourite colours – or perhaps school colours, team colours or the colours of a favourite outfit – and make it completely your own.

🧵 **Choose your DMC Coton Perlé at Crafty Frog:**

**DMC Perlé 12**

Make one for your best friend. Make matching ones for sisters. Get the kids making them for their classmates. Or make one yourself and rediscover a craft many of us remember from years ago.

**Three colours. A few knots. One little gift made especially for someone.**

Happy Friday!

What do you knit when Canberra gives you four seasons in one day?

Something light, warm and easy to layer.

Our new Alpaca Yarns Whisper knitting patterns have arrived, with a beautiful selection of sweaters, cardigans, vests and throw-over tops. There are simple everyday designs, textured stitches, relaxed shapes and colourful striped options.

Every design uses Alpaca Yarns Whisper 8 ply—a luxurious blend of 74% kid mohair and 26% mulberry silk. It is wonderfully soft and light, yet warm enough for Canberra’s cooler days.
