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

Your welcome @saturnzoon . Here is a YouTube vid I found quite helpful.

I found the smaller kits quite good, I prefer the trays that come with them. Let me know if you have any questions if you get going. You should find quite a few nice ones in Spotlight 🙂

Re: Craft Corner

@CheerBear and all who crochet (sorry having a mental blank 😬)
I cant for the lift of me get my bracelet to work out the way I want it to. its not the pattern so much as joining it together. I cant seem to get it so that when its joined itll stay properly. short on buying a double ended clip or a clip charm im feeling abit lost.
Any suggestions?

Re: Craft Corner

It might be a bit tricky to help without a photo @outlander or a description of what kind of end you're trying to join. I'm not sure sorry. Maybe others will have an idea.

@Gazza75 that is absolutely awesome! Is that yours? 😍

Re: Craft Corner

oops sorry @CheerBear I forgot to upload the pic will do that now. Its tied off cause I was playing around with a few styles. but I cant seem to work out how to join it without having the knot there. this one is only a basic chain

Re: Craft Corner

Now that i think of it. I could probably slip stitch it 🤔🤔

Re: Craft Corner

Ooh that's so pretty @outlander 🙂 I just jumped on YouTube and searched "adjustable knot for bracelet". There are a few that might help.

Re: Craft Corner

Re: Craft Corner

@CheerBear yes it's one of mine. Not all that happy with the current one I am working on. Hard to see the symbols and I think it's a bit little to small to get all the detail that should be there.

@outlander, bracelet looks very nice, hope you can figure out a way to hook it together 😊
