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 🙂

My beanie is going well. I have knitted 10 cm worth of rows of knitting and really enjoying it!

Hi @Shaz51 @CheerBear @NatureLover @jem80 @Emelia8 @Maggie @Gazza75 and all crafty forumites here. I just thought I'd post a photo of my new crochet hook- 4mm- that I picked up at the local Newsagency for $1.50 a few days ago. I love it since the handle has granny squares on it and I'm working on a granny square blanket (1 of my many crafty projects as we speak!). It's also very comfortable to use as well.

I hope you like it! Have fun crafty people!

@Judi9877 I’ve never seen a crochet hook like that it’s beautiful. 😍😍 Happy crafting.

Re: Craft Corner

Hi @Maggie . Thanks for the comment! It was initially part of a Crochet magazine but one of the Newsagencies in the area happen to sell bits of them that either fall off the magazines or get lost and they can’t sell anymore for full price. That’s why it was so cheap- I think the magazine is something like $17 as it comes from the UK. I also check there regularly as I can sometimes get cross stitch and knitting magazines for like $2 as well without the free kits attached.

Thanks @Maggie ☺️.
I’ve just started another beanie early this afternoon. I’m on a beanie thing at the moment, I think!
