There is just something about knitting that makes me smile. Maybe it's the relaxation it brings or perhaps it's the energy I get when I actually make that very, very, long piece of string into something more than just a bundle of yarn.
Whether you are a seasoned knitter or have never knit a stitch in your life, you need to head over to Wool and the Gang's Website. Wool and the Gang is a Swiss based company using Peruvian yarns to create cozy knitted garments. What sets them apart is that the gang of knitters really exists. From around the world knitters create hand-crafted pieces and form a partnership that makes up the tightly bound company.
Wool and the Gang farm out their projects to women in Peru. They form a bond and partnership by giving work to these women so they are able to stay at home and care for their families whilst still earning much needed income. You can either buy a one of a kind garment or buy a ready-to-knit kit and do the creating yourself.
