Today's photo in Bing is from a very special Japanese Temple! 🇯🇵⛩ ☆ I always get fascinated by how old the art of knitting is and how it has been cherished for generations and different cultures alike! I am humble and very grateful to be part of this ancient craft's community and for keep spreading the love of knitting and crocheting with all of you!! ☆ " The stone figures lining the steps in today's photo are among 500 rakan statues on the small island of Miyajima in Japan. The colorful knitted caps they're wearing are offerings from people visiting the island, a tradition followed in other areas of Japan as well. Some believe this gift-giving is based on a children's folk story of an elderly hatmaker who was unable to make it to market on a snowy day, so he placed his collection of hats on rakan statues to keep their bare heads dry. Later, the statues showed their appreciation by delivering gifts to the hatmaker and his wife so they could celebrate the new year properly. The statues in this photo were individually carved sometime between the 1780s to the 1820s, and no two are alike. They line the path at the base of Mount Misen that leads to the Daisho-in Temple, one of the many temples and shrines on the island." Photo and story's copyrights details can be found on #Bing (only today) ☆ Happy weekend!! . . . . . . . . . . #knit #crochet #knitting #knittingofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #instaknit #igknitters #knittingaddict #knittersgonnaknit #hatsknitting #hats #japanese #culture #igknitters #knithat #handknit #knitlife #knitlove #joyfulyarn #handknithat #crochethats #knittedbeanie #knithats #handmade #knitknitknit #knitstagram #nevernotknitting #slowliving #cozylife https://www.instagram.com/p/B7MjLkApBg6/?igshid=zryqu5f6j7ed

L o n g i n g . f o r . S p r in g 🌸🌼 in the meantime I'm playing with yarn. . I discovered sock knitting a day like today three years ago. Since then, I have knitted so many beautiful socks from designers I admire, and I had the pleasure of designing a few personal socks for fun. I have tested them, sampled them, gifted them, and I never get tired of such a comforting thing to do for my hands, feet and soul. The feeling of slipping your feet on handmade socks is a unique one, only known by those who have done it. If you want to discover that feeling, I encourage you to learn knitting, because you'll never regret it! . Right now I'm having the pleasure of testing this beginners friendly stripes design by Charlotte (@stoneknits). Such an easy-going knit! . #sundayfeeling #knitters #knitting #knittingofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #testknit #instaknit #igknitters #knittingaddict #knittersgonnaknit #sockknittersofinstagram #knitpicks #sockknitter #handknit #knitlove #joyfulyarn #handknitsocks #sockknitters #stoneknits #learntoknit #operationsockdrawer #knittedsock #knitsocks #handmade #knitknitknit #knitlife #knitstagram #nevernotknitting #tricot #cozylife https://www.instagram.com/p/CKt7llapOvq/?igshid=1wumq6s5g6tl9
