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

It can definitely be like that @outlander (with bursts of more motivation then times of less). Each row adds up in the end though 🙂

Re: Craft Corner

i wanted to finish my rainbow one first before starting another one but my aunt wants it done within the next month so id better get my backside into gear eventually and get it done.

Re: Craft Corner

No need to apologise @outlander. Sorry to hear you've had a rough day. Listening if you'd like to vent.

@CheerBear @outlander @BlueBay @Maggie @Mazarita

I'm a bit like you @outlander, my crochet is right next to me, I put it on my lap and sometimes it just sits there.

I like yours outlander, what stitches are they.

@CheerBear one day hoping to be able to crochet like yours posted, they look hard.

I saw a blanket done using hexagons instead of granny squares and it looked nice, but there was no pattern so I've been trying to find an easy hexagon one, have you crocheted one CheerBear.

I've only managed to do a couple of rows on my blanket since my last picture.

Re: Craft Corner

Thankyou @outlander, I haven't heard of that stitch before, it looks nice in your blanket, I'll check it out.
