Help for a name for new craft club at college?
I’m starting a needlecraft club at my school–embroidery, sewing, knitting, crochet, cross-stitch. Basically anything that involves some sort of needle and some sort of string. But I have no name!
I’m looking for something that’s preferably a word from a different language. I wanna kind of evoke the connotation of a group of crafters with a kindred connection. I know in ancient times, there would be circles of women who would sit together and work their craft together. Are there any names for those circles?
Basically I want to draw a parallel between the people of today and our ties to our ancestors through a craft that has endured several millenia.
Any ideas?
I’m looking for something not so…..obvious…. o_O
That sounds really awsome! Here’s a idea for you. You could choose a simple English name and use a free translation website to change it up a bit. For example, lets say you decided to call the group The Thread Circle. Then you went online and used a free translator and changed the english word thread to the german word faden. So then you’d have The Faden Circle. Sounds intriguing! Anyway, you could play around with this in other languages too. Good luck with your club!
