Craft Corner

Craft Corner

A place to chat and share all things crafty!

What's your favourite craft? Is there anything you're working on at the moment? What would you like to create/work on (I have heaps of "one day" project patterns and ideas that I know I will probably never get around to, but it's nice to imagine)? I'd love to hear!

I have absolutely no artistic side to me and stick figures are the extent of my drawing ability, but I really enjoy learning and trying out new crafts. I learnt crochet during a stay in a prevention and recovery centre and it's something I pick up often when I am feeling blue, I need a distraction or I'm just a little bored. I've tried paper crafts too, although I didn't really get far with anything. Sharpies are some of my best friends and when I find my hands need to move I have a collection of smooth rocks that I draw on (different coloured circles) which often relaxes me. Sometimes I dust off the sewing machine and sew as well. I walk around spotlight for a fun outing 😉

Looking forward to hearing from you all 🙂

Re: Craft Corner

I finished @outlander. It's little but it fits in her bed well 😊 (not that she sleeps in it often haha). I put a ruffle border on it which was fun and easy to make.

Re: Craft Corner

Hi guys @outlander @CheerBear @TAB @Shaz51 @Judi9877

@CheerBear thank you very much for your reply, I love that you added the craft to our forum cheerBear, I'm going to follow your suggestion, and check out the video, as I said before I've only ever done granny squares, but want to learn more, there's lots of lovely things, I look for beginners things to make and the leaping stripes block came up, I will keep you all updated on how I'm going. I love your blanket. I did come across a hexagon instead of doing squares that I'd love to try but couldnt find a pattern for one, i will keep looking.

I look forward to see what you are working on @outlander and @Judi9877.

@TAB it's nice to come visit, we certainly would have plenty of wool for you to play with

@Shaz51 look forward to see what your craft is as well
