Book Review: Nudinits: Bare-Bottomed Fun from the Woolly Village of Woolly Bush

If you’re a knitting enthusiast with a cheeky sense of humor, Nudinits: Bare-Bottomed Fun from the Woolly Village of Woolly Bush is the perfect addition to your collection. Authored by Sarah Simi, this book takes you on a delightful journey through a charming English village where all the residents happen to be knitted—and naked!

Nudinits is not your typical knitting book. It combines the whimsical world of stop-motion animation with clever and witty storytelling. Set in the fictional village of Woolly Bush, the book introduces you to a host of quirky, nude, but tastefully crafted characters. The attention to detail in the knitting patterns and the humorous scenarios make this a truly unique and entertaining read.

The book includes step-by-step instructions for creating your very own Nudinits characters and accessories. From knitting tiny teapots to miniature bicycles, the patterns are well-explained and accessible for knitters of all skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, you’ll find joy in recreating these adorable, bare-bottomed villagers.

One of the standout features of this book is its British humor. The puns and playful scenarios add an extra layer of enjoyment to the knitting process. The charming photography and whimsical scenes bring the characters to life, making you feel like you’re part of the Woolly Bush community.

Nudinits is more than just a knitting pattern book; it’s a light-hearted and creative experience that will make you smile with every stitch. Whether you’re looking for a fun project or a quirky gift for a fellow crafter, this book is a must-have.

I’ve written a lot about different Fourth of July activities and crafts over the years (see links below) but one thing I haven’t touched on much is the Fourth of July party. A backyard hangout and barbecue is a classic event, so why not bring some fun outside with red, white and blue games the whole family can play?

Games like these can help develop fine motor skills, and getting kids up and moving is always a good idea. If adults join in, so much the better.

Six Clever Sisters has collected a dozen fun Fourth of July games you can make for the backyard to play for the holiday or any time during the summer.

A lot of these are regular sorts of backyard games like hitting targets with squirt guns or tossing balls into buckets, but given a red, white and blue twist for the patriotic holidays.

These games would be fun throughout the year regardless of whether you put a patriotic spin on them.

For example the tic tac toe game shown here, which is from Hey Let’s Make Stuff, would be cute with x’s and o’s painted in any colors you like. And of course you could make it even easier and just play on the sidewalk with red, white and blue chalk if you don’t have a ready supply of wooden letters.

Check out all the ideas for backyard party games for the Fourth of July at Six Clever Sisters.
