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 🙂

Hi @outlander @CheerBear @Maggie @saturnzoon @Gazza75 @cutiepiekitty and all crafty critters! I’m still knitting away in my charity blanket and finished my 2nd square this morning. Thanks for the comments!

It’s blue, grey, red and cream and I think it’s turned out well. There’s still a lot of the yarn left so I’ll be able to knit a few more squares in it which is great.

I don’t know what happened to my yellow square photo so I’ve included that as well. That was my 1st square

Anyway, it’s afternoon now in Melbourne so I’m going to start my 3rd square as it’s so hot here - I think it’s something like 34 right now!- as it means I’ll have something to do. I’m having fun with it so that’s the main thing.

Have a great afternoon everyone☺️

Re: Craft Corner

Awwww I love your second square @Judi9877 😀👍👍💕

First one nice too .. a buttercup yellow, which will contrast beautifully with the colours in your second.

We are meant to get 35C here tomorrow. Today though is only high 20s, but gusty winds whuch is not nice.

The diamond paintings I did for family members down south, were well received. So I am encouraged to do more. The flower I was only half way through before I went away for 6 days ... is beckoning. I might be able to do some this arvo I hope.

@Judi9877 I always love the way that variegated yarn comes out. Even the most basic pattern becomes special

Hi @Shaz51 @CheerBear @Maggie @cutiepiekitty @Former-Member @Gazza75 @outlander and all those visiting this crafty forum. I hope you are having fun doing your favourite craft and art hobbies☺️!

I’ve decided to post an update on my squares with 2 more completed - see below! I hope you all like them. That brings me up to 4 now with a 5th one started in orange late last night. With nothing on tv and Melbourne’s weather being what it is, I seem to be in a knitting mode right now.

I’m having fun and enjoying using up all of the different yarns that I have at home.

Have a great day☺️!
