There's definitely a crafty collective conscience out there. Case in point: at a recent visit to Kinokuniya , my favorite Japanese book store, I bought this pom-pom craft book called, appropriately, How to Make Pom Poms, and became completely obsessed with making pom poms. (It looks like you can also get it here) A few of my friends and I were heading out on a little crafty weekend retreat and I decided poms would be the perfect project! Cut to a week later and I get this email from my good friend Lorelei: "I want to make pom-poms at our retreat. Can you make pom poms?"
Now cut to a month later and we're both hooked. Pom pom making is very relaxing, cutting each little orb into a perfect fluffy circle is meditative in a way. And there are so many things you can do with them! I recommend that, if you want your pom poms to be as lovely as the ones in the book, to use really thin yarn, which I did not do.
Also, I should mention this book is amazing! Have you ever wanted to make a little pom pom hamburger but didn't know how? Fear not- this book teaches you!
