Crafting

[Piff paff puff]

Some hat pins using swan and pheasant feathers that they had left behind.

I've been going to a little art class for the last few weeks and I've been learning a few new techniques. We've done acrylic painting animals, tissue paper roses and watercolour landscapes. I'm quite pleased with the results

I made this as a gift for my cousin's little girl's christening. The A is a patchwork of washi tape, my current favourite craft material!

I saw the new Wallace and Gromit cross stitches & thought they might inspire me to get back crafting.
It worked they arrived yesterday and i've already started Feathers McGraw

I thought this wreath would be appreciated here

(Not mine btw)

 

[But Seriously?]

We had a crafting day at my daughter's house. Decorating tote bags. A great time was had by all.

 

[What's your point]

Busy working on my Abeline sweater, it's a lovely pattern! Wish I had put a strand of mohair in with my contrasting colour now but not starting again! It took me 3 attempts to get this far

This is the last thing I made (aside from horrible crochet attempts!) - a commission for my flatmate's boyfriend, whose baby niece is being indoctrinated into West Ham supporting already.

I’ve made this blanket inspired by Taylor Swifts era colours but I needs a border and I don’t know what colours to do to bring it all together. None of them seem to the right colour.

any ideas?

although I’m wondering if I should have used maybe a neutral cream as a final round on each square and then it would have tied them all together so I may need to redo that - would make the blanket larger too?

My diamond painting addiction is going well, I finally got brave enough to do a bigger than 30 x40.
This is 65x35 I think.

Also not by me but wanted to share some Stained Glass that my Dad did.

I finished a pair of socks yesterday

IDK anything about Crafting much but can't the yarn be washed or will that make it not suitable to be worked into projects?

It maybe depends on how much and the extent of the damage. My friend got coffee all over her crochet project but she managed to salvage it.

I’m a self taught basic knitter, crocheter, embroiderer. I tend to go through phases of each. I’ve also made bobbin lace since I was a teenager - sadly this seems to be a dwindling craft, there haven’t been new joiners to the group for years. I love the bobbins, kits , silks etc and since my children left home I have converted a little room into my little room with baskets of wool, a cushion filled chair, a special teapot, a radio that only plays radio four and the best days are when I sit there from Woman’s Hour til Big Ben dongs at six! Heaven!

Well the blanket of doom is finally finished. ( Needs washing!)
I’ve never made anything from a kit using someone else’s colour combination before - obviously being a contrary madam I swapped some colours over and did a completely different border. I’m not massively keen, although the person I made it for absolutely loves it.

I also got my paper quilling kit out

I've now gotten the hang of crochet and have finished a neck warmer and a headband, and I'm working on a blanket and a project bag.

I've started learning to knit. I can do an English knit cast on and a knit stitch but struggling with purling. I really want to make knit and crochet garments this year, will persevere.

I'm usually a knitter but I've just started learning to crochet. All I've made so far is a slightly too-small hat which my cat has stolen to sleep on. I'm finding it quite hard to get to grips with.

Glad to see there are others on here who enjoy cross stitch What are you all working on at the moment?

Currently stitching a mandrake for my Harry Potter themed office

I've been making hats (fascinators) using recycled items, feathers from local pheasants too
Found many decorative bits and pieces and fabric from charity shops.

I will be starting my Christmas project soon. Don't laugh, I just want to make sure it is finished in time.

Last summer I bought the Attic 24 Yuletide blanket kit, with the aim of starting in August/September to give myself plenty of time....and I left it to late and then there was not enough time.

I did a practice run of the first few rounds today using scrap yarn, so i didn't waste anything in the yarn pack for it.

It is a sort of combination of granny rounds, solid granny rounds and spike stitch rounds.

No laughing here - I’ve got a fair this weekend and then one at the start of July then I’m on to Xmas and winter makes!

Currently making these little dudes

I decided I'd gift handmade this Christmas so I've made quite a bit over the last few weeks. Today I made Christmas cards. I used to make cards a lot a few years ago but haven't really bothered until recently and I remember how much I enjoyed it. Anyway, these are a few I did today...
