Book Review

Crafting the Wheel of the Year’ by Claire Gelder and Deb Bowen. This is an absolutely gorgeous book, sumptuously illustrated, filled with tempting craft projects all set to the seasons of the year. But possibly, not the seasons you are thinking of! These are the eight ancient seasons which will be familiar to those of you who enjoy all things magical, folklore and witch related. The authors bring a wealth of knowledge and imagination to the truly lovely book.

Thank you for visiting my website. I’m Claire Gelder and I am dedicated to keeping all of the old crafts alive. Whether that be knitting, crocheting, weaving, macrame or charm making, all crafts have a special place in my heart.

I have two craft businesses. Wool Couture I founded nearly ten years ago and Stitch & Story we purchased in 2024.

In 2017 I became an author of craft books and I have gone on to write another eight books.
