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

thanks @CheerBear so im hoping this makes sense...
My colour pattern for my granny square has been the 2 rows of each colour breaking it up with 2 rows of white in between e.g 2 rows of purple. 2 rows of white, 2 rows of pink, 2 white and so on. Im up to the last lot of white rows before i get back to the purple to start the pattern all over again. My question is more about the border. if i wanted to finish the blanket in the purple section do you think finishing the last row of white then doing a round of single crochet then the border pattern would look better or would doing one row of purple then single crochet then border so it would be like having the border where thr second round of purple would be look better?

hoping that makes sense and doesnt soudn to complicated!

Re: Craft Corner

Are you doing the reverse shells as the border @outlander?

(I wrote out a reply then realised I answered a different question haha)

I think either would look really good though if you're doing shells it's a pretty wide border so maybe the first option (the purple sc round then border straight after the white) might make it look more even. If you did a row of purple then the sc round then the border, it may be quite a wide amount of purple when it is together.

Hope that makes sense and answers the question?!

Hi @CheerBear and others on here

I finished sewing a pink baby blanket. It only took 1/2 hour. I’m giving this one to the receptionist at my doctors clinic.

I think I will post on Facebook and see if anyone would like to purchase one.

I oayd $8 for 1 metre. So I think $20 would be a good price. Do you think thsts a fair price? Not really sure.
