Craft Corner

We do indeed @outlander, learned a. Lot doing it which is the main thing 🙂 how are you doing tonight?

@CheerBear if your right handed your meant to start on the other side. I did research, but, only learnt that today

@outlander thanks to @Maggie I have a scene or two on order. My next one will be.some butterflies.

It's great to find this thread. I recently dug out my bag of left over wool that had been buried in the back of a cupboard for many years. I have decided to knit squares to make a blanket to give to charity. I have enjoyed picking up the needles again and have currently made about 25 squares - I am told that you need 36 to make a blanket for an adult. The trouble with leftovers is that the colours do not always fit together well. I have tried to narrow it down to about 5 colours and bought a few balls to get them in nearly even numbers. I am enjoying this stage of making some sort of a pattern.

In the last week I've been distracted by the birth of my first grand nephew. I decided to try my hand at knitting a soft toy, a puppy with long floppy ears. It's a long time since I've had to get my head around making and increasing stitches. It's been a bit disappointing to find that the finished puppy is only 12cm tall. However it makes it pretty quick to make.

Welcome @BronH, glad you found the thread and your Wool and. Knitting needles. It's very kind of you to give blanket to charity.. Congrats on grand nephew, that is awesome.

Would love to see some of your knitting if you comfortable sharing it with us. 🙂 🙂

Sounds like a great accomplishment to us @BronH! Do you have a picture of your finished puppy?

Most of the pics are protected. This is the only one I could copy. It's Knitables Free Puppy.

@BronH Welcome. The puppy sounds lovely, as does your blanket. Sometime the thought of getting back into craft is daunting, but once there it becomes enjoyable again.

lovely to see you here.

@Gazza75 Your bee is looking good. You did a little more research than I did, as I didn’t know there was a right and wrong side to start, I always started at the lefthand side. Got that wrong.
