Do you crochet?
Fancy making a PURPLE PEOPLE EATER???
I’m looking for people to test crochet this little guy. I would estimate there is 3 – 4 hours work in him, and he can be made from your stash. It is a fairly simple pattern and includes single crochet, double crochet, increasing and decreasing. You would need [...]
even though it’s not yet lined?
I just want to have a think about the method of closure (perhaps something magnetic) before I start on the lining
cut a heart shape from a felted jumper for the embellishment, with single crochet to edge it
started another rag bag the other day…
I know, I haven’t even finished the last one as yet… but let’s face it – I haven’t let that stop me before!
this one will be worked from a queen size doona cover… I’m interested to see if I can get an entire bag out of the one cover… [...]
have finished crocheting the body of the bag…
still need to decide on the lining and embellishments
so far it is sturdy, very comfortable to carry, and stands upright on its own
my son created this fabulous plasticine creature this morning… and named him lux-roy
he will be the model for our april crochet challenge over at silly string group on ravelry
each participant will re-create him, using crochet as the medium
lux-roy is there for inspiration rather than cloning, and we all have such individual styles over there… so [...]
a-tisket, a-tasket
a green and yellow basket
I wrote a letter to my love
and on the way I dropped it
finally started work on my rag basket… I’m thinking it will make a fabulous project bag for my craft, but we’ll wait and see when it’s done
working it up in a variety of colours, changed at [...]
in this instance… it was the egg!
this little guy was created for the march ‘oddball of the month’ competition over at ravelry
the theme was EASTER… although I hadn’t originally planned to go quite this cutesy with it!
my original idea was a bit more off-beat… I won’t share all of the details with you, because I [...]
my zettified art stuff swap doll is finished!
you will remember that I had to make it personally significant to my swap partner… not entirely easy when you don’t actually know the person… but it certainly added to the challenge
so here’s how I went about it
the body is green, which is messy’s favourite colour
the doll has [...]
over the years, I have worked on many embroidery projects… most of them were purchased in kit form
and those kits always contain way more thread than you could ever use
of course… I have never been able to part with any of it… and my collection has accumulated beyond that which I could use in a [...]
still trying to work my way through my ‘bits and bobs’ bag… you know… all those little leftover pieces of yarn you have been holding on to for years and years???
so I thought I’d use some up in a one hour scarf
I worked with four strands throughout, just replacing each yarn as it ran out
and [...]
