I've asked myself this question-- "What is the special connection between womanhood and crafts?"
For me the special connection between womanhood and crafts is being a homemaker. Part of being a homemaker is my ability to craft items for my home. If you walk into my home, you will see items that I have made in every room in the house. You will see tablerunners, placemats, coasters, hotpads, blankets and a lot more.
I believe it's important to start children young with crafting and to keep them interested. Many think it's a dying art, but it is far from it.
Netgallery is graciously offering one of my readers who comment on this post an ebook edition of Michelle Edwards's incredible A Knitter's Home Companion.
To enter, just answer this question in the comment section: "How does knitting and crafting empower you?"

Knitting and crafting empowers me by the feeling of connection to generations of women who have knitted and crafted through every kind of joy and sorrow that can be imagined.

Hmm..I am not sure how knitting empowers me really...but it's a chance for me to create, make gifts with love and save money. Plus, homemade items are the BEST!! :)
