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

@outlander that square your doing looks really nice, I haven't come across one like that before, yeah the more you do the better you become.

I still consider myself as a learner, I've done blankets, squares and now I'm doing a hexagon blanket which sometimes I still have to refer to my notes, this will be my biggest and hardest one I've tried so far.

@Judi9877 I started out doing the granny squares as well and took a while before it looked ok, just little steps at a time as they say.

I've got my crocheting hexagon blanket with 3 new colours and would like to know if you's think the 3 would go with what I've done so far as I'm not good with colour matching and not sure whether to use the same colours for the blanket or to keep adding new ones, tell me what you all think and suggestion please @CheerBear @Maggie @Maggie @Shaz51 Do the 3 new ones match

Re: Craft Corner

thanks @CheerBear
no this one doesn't use a magic ring, its just the normal starting look chain, slip stitch and then go from there. I actually have trouble doing the magic ring, I cant seem to get my head around how to do it

Re: Craft Corner

@saturnzoon They look like natural colours so I think they would go fine with what you are doing. Your blanket is looking really good. 😍😍

Re: Craft Corner

I love your blanket @saturnzoon
I too would consider myself a beginner. the starburst is probably the hardest thing ive done but its not really to hard once you learn the pattern.

Re: Craft Corner

@saturnzoon your blanket looks fabulous ❤ So awesome.

@outlander it took me a while to get my head around the magic ring but once I found a way that worked for me it became much easier.

@Maggie can you hear my happy dance from here?! Yes yay! 😁
