North Carolina, lovingly known as the 'Tar Heel State,' is a playful paradise filled to the brim with majestic mountains, sun-kissed beaches, and cozy corners that whisper stories of the old and new. It's a land where rivers giggle, trees hum lullabies, and even the wind carries the scent of adventure. But the most enchanting thing about North Carolina isn't just its landscapes, it's the kids. Especially those part of a magical group who wield the power of two shiny needles and a ball of wool. Meet the kids of the North Carolina Knitting Knights, a group of yarn-wielding warriors led by none other than Sir Wooly Wobblebottom, the coolest imaginary character in all the land. Sir Wooly, a sassy sheep with an unruly fleece and a pair of knitting needles behind his fluffy ears, teaches the kids to knit like true knights. Together, they create magical garments that make you giggle uncontrollably or jump as high as a kangaroo. While some kids knit colorful scarves that can stretch up to the Blue Ridge Mountains, others weave hats that could double up as UFOs! Once, a little girl even knitted a pair of socks that could make you dance like a disco star, while another boy crafted a sweater that could speak in five different animal languages. Yes, the kids of North Carolina and their knitting antics are as quirky, unique, and full of character as the state itself. They are imaginers, creators, and above all, woolen warriors, proving every day that North Carolina is not just a place on the map, but a state of wonder and woolly magic.

At Winking Moon Art Camp, children have the opportunity to explore their creative side and bring their ideas to life with the help of a second mind and a pair of hands. It is here that they can create, play and even bake a teatime treat for the whole group to enjoy. Weather permitting, we’ll work outdoors, as kids and the outdoors naturally go hand in hand. Every camp day follows a set rhythm. After arriving, the kids have some time to settle in during free play, before the structured activity begins. During the morning art, sewing or creating workshop, I plan an activity while still listening to the children’s own ideas. This is a fantastic way to encourage their imagination and spark their creativity. At Winking Moon Art Camp, it’s all about having fun. There’s no better way to keep kids engaged and entertained than with a mixture of free play, creative activities, and a delicious teatime treat.
