The LoveCrafts Show!

Published on December 7, 2022 by Holly Butteriss

What do you get when you cross two craft nuts, a lineup of incredible designers and *ahem* a silly craft jingle (sorry Jamie!)? Enter, The LoveCrafts Show!

The video and audio podcast everyone will be talking about, the LoveCrafts Show is your monthly craft juice - where we chat everything crafts related, share news from the making community, and discuss the joy of making. Hosted by Merion, LoveCrafts’ super star maker (who can forget the Merion outtakes video!?) and Jamie, cross-stitch extraordinaire making waves in the crafts community, aka Mr X Stitch!

Don’t forget to send us lots of lovely messages, responses and questions to show@lovecrafts.com

“ The LoveCrafts Show is that perfect combo of interesting chats with people who love their crafts, and irreverent nonsense! ”
