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

ive made um 2 blankets, a pillow cover, a scarf, a beanie and a few butterfly keychains.
@CheerBeartaught and encouraged me heaps from when i was very first starting out- including what hook and yarn to learn with. had no idea what a hook or a chain or anything else was. i use to call hooks 'sticks' and never gave it much thought. my first ever project is my 'Cheerbear Blanket' its rainbow coloured @Doglover

Re: Craft Corner

Thats really cool @outlander , good on u. That must giv u a sense of achievement. Very nice of @CheerBear to giv u so much support and encouragement. I dont know what a hook or a chain is, or what its even related to! Haha. Maybe crocheting? That's my best guess. Iv knitted a few scarves but thats it. Look forward to seeing what u all create!
