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

Hi @outlander @CheerBear @Maggie @Former-Member @Shaz51 @CraftPoppy and all crafty critters here! I hope you've been having fun doing crafty things lately. As for me, I finished a beanie early this morning. See photo below. I'm now also in a beanie mood since it's 4 degrees and freezing here in Melbourne so I'm planning on knitting some of them up for charity in the next few days on 4.5 mm knitting needles. It helps that I've memorised the pattern so I can pick up the knitting and just continue.

I look forward to seeing all of what everyone gets up to in the next few days and weeks.

Sounds like the beanie will come in handy with that Melbourne weather @Judi9877 😀👍 And it has my favourite colours in it too .. purple, green and blue. Very nice. 💜

Re: Craft Corner

Thank you. I just so happen to be relearning, or refreshing my crocheting skills. I use the term skill very loosley. My mum is an awesome knitter and crocheter, has made so many amazing things for family and friends. ,I have made longstitch tapestrys, refurbished furniture, attempted knitting, but its not good for an old shoulder injury. I also enjoy sewing, but don't do enough. I would love to have a go at woodworking to but there is nowhere local that teaches. my not straight practice crocheting, A cute little flower, and probably the best granny square I have ever done.BEFORE my tv unit was the old red stain and i wanted to brighten my houseFinishedThe final piece all set up
