Wee Folk Art was started by a mother-daughter duo that shares a love of crafting, homeschooling and folk art. This homey (yet trendy) site has it all: project ideas, handy guides and loads of free patterns for knitting, crocheting, appliqué and sewing. Make a funky fuzzy boa scarf or learn to stitch an appliqué picture, then move on to the more complex afghan knitting series.
