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 @Maggie @CheerBear @jem80 @outlander @mumto2 @Gazza75 and all crafty critters here! Just popping in to catch up and show you what I have done with my knitting. Also to say well so Ebro @jem80 on the mask. I'm very proud of you and your creativity☺️! Here is a photo of the next bit of my blanket for my best friend. I changed my mind with the other peice of knitting that was initially going to be made into a scarf and decided to make a blanket instead using the peice of knitting. That means I'll knit 9 strips which are around 170cm in length and 20cm wide using 7mm knitting needles using 2 strands of yarn. Basically it's me being creative and having fun using the yarn I have around to make something for my best friend for her birthday in November. The yarn on this is a light yellow and a deep purple colour, just in case it doesn't show up in the photo. I hope you like it! I'll keep you all posted with the rest of the blanket!

In the meantime, keep creating and having fun. I look forward to seeing your creations everyone!

Re: Craft Corner

Hi @Maggie ,

I'm chipping away at my Unicorn, probably still a few months away from completion. It's not my biggest painting, but, the most challenging I have done so far. I've enjoyed looking at your creations along with everybody elses.

I'm doing alright, struggling with work and life. Have a few days off now which are sorely needed 🙂

Take care

Gary

Re: Craft Corner

@Former-Member here’s a dotting demo you might like to watch.

To start off, you can use things around home. Toothpick, eraser end of a pencil, take the wool off a cotton bud, put a pin in the eraser. Just different sizes is what you are aiming for. I hope you enjoy this.
