10 Best Boston Winter Activites, From Curling to Rooftop Happy Hour in Igloos | Condé Nast Traveler

"A cold-weather craft day shines at this Allston studio, where you can dabble in poured art, phone-case making, and beading, but the star is rug tufting: using a tufting gun to punch loops of yarn through stretched fabric to build a plush pile into any shape you like. With what feels like endless yarn colors and popular motifs from strawberries and flowers to cartoons and pets, small rugs (about 17 by 17 inches) take roughly two and a half hours, while larger pieces can run four hours or more." - Madeline Bilis
