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

@CheerBear how's your blanket coming along? Can you share an update pic?

Re: Craft Corner

Hey @outlander 🙂 I haven't had much time with my blanket lately but will hopefully squeeze some in soon (this afternoon is the plan 🤞). It's annoying me as there is SO much piecing together! I should have stitched them together rather than tried the 'join-as-you-go' method as it doesn't work if the squares are different sizes 😏 Lesson learned the hard way!

I'll share a pic when it is all pieced together 🙂 How's yours going?

Re: Craft Corner

Sounds good @CheerBear looking forward to see it but no rush either.
I'm quarter way though the 4th yarncake now. Just this one and one other then it's finished.

Re: Craft Corner

Hi @outlander @CheerBear @BlueBay @Shaz51 @Hope4me I have been making a blocked stitched blanket for a queen bed but I'm not good at matching colours, in the picture could you guys let me know what you think and suggestions on what colours would be better as the red and purple i first used, i dont think works with the rest.

Re: Craft Corner

Hi @saturnzoon. That's such an interesting stitch! I haven't seen that used often.

I think I'd go something bright next as the last two are quite dark. Or perhaps try and tie in the pink and purple by using one of them with one of the other colours you've used maybe. I really like the blues in the last rows 😊

Are you enjoying working on it?

Re: Craft Corner

Nice colours @saturnzoon

Are you wanting a pattern of the colours youve done so far ? If not maybe something like a green and purple or pink and green or 2 shades of green like youve done with the blue

Re: Craft Corner

Hey there @saturnzoon and shout-out to @CheerBear and @outlander

I'm sorry but I'm not really confident with random colours. I usually pick a theme of colours prior to starting projects. If you search 'craft colour wheel' on YouTube, they'll show you how to mix and match colours.

It's a big project Saturn. How long did it take you to create what we can see?
