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

I haven't picked it up for a couple of days @outlander as it's been busy and I've been too tired. I was saying to @Maggie this morning (I think it was this morning) that I'm getting a bit scrambled with the colours. For some reason I'm trying to plan it out and make it 'pretty'. My insides want to totally colour mash it though, so it's not feeling right to have it work up the way it is, though I do still like it (I think 🤔). Decisions decisions haha.

How's yours going?

Re: Craft Corner

I haven't done much either. @CheerBear I went to try and order some more yarn but its saying they don't even stock the purple I brought not to long ago. its the new big w brand. 🤔 hopefully the amount I have now will work out but I wanted to change up the colour order.

lol yes crochet colours are a very important matter! takes a lot of umming and arhhing to get it right 😏

Re: Craft Corner

@Maggie Love your nerdy coloured crochet. It is always good to see someone do something out of the normal patterns. I love things done in the varigated colours as you never know just what they are going to turn out like. One of the girls at craft (I call them girls eeven though they are all older than me, this one is in her 80's) is doung a beanie in plain knitted stocking stitch with variegated and it looks really pretty
