I’m nearing the end of my folio shots for school. It’s been a MASSIVE effort with many of the props being fashioned or refashioned by me. I even managed to rope The Cookie into doing a bit of drawing for me!

There’s a bit of lamp refashioning going on with the hook and the quality yarn (insert wink or red high heel here).

You can find more creative spaces right here. Come and join in – there’s some seriously lovely stuff going on over there.

I actually made something!

It’s a one ball, couple of hour wonder!

Just a basic bucket beanie…made at the request of my boy!

Gosh it felt good to be back on the hook!

Busy hands still a busy mind!

That’s a lot of exclamation points!

Welcome to my CRAFT blog!

Thanks for hanging in – I’m going to be making more.

Details:
1 ball Patons Wilderness (from the stash)
1 6mm hook
Lots of treble stitches

… from a piece of vintage crochet
… without doing any damage to the original piece!

You probably won’t remember, but some time ago I fashioned a sweet little shrug which people got pretty excited about. I said at the time that it was total fakery & that made me look much cleverer than I really am.

I haven’t found any of the square tablecloths at the op shop for the longest time & then a few weeks ago I got lucky (& found four in one store).

Obviously someone’s gran has spent countless hours on the hook working up the table cloths & I think it’s a crying shame to leave them languishing in the op shop. This little how to is totally non destructive as we are utilising the holes made by the original crochet pattern. So, at any time I can snip the line of chain & use the cloth as … wait for it … a cloth!

Please note…this garment is sized “one size fits some”. You’ll need to trial the shrug as it depends on the size of the original cloth etc.

Spending time with creative people who are a bit like you but a bit different too is where its at!

You get to bounce ideas off each other & little flashes of inspiration hit.

My eyes go a bit wide when I think of something new…so if we are having a cuppa & the eyes widen you know you’ve triggered something fun.

Just this week I’ve spent time with lots of people who are creative and think a bit differently…I like it. Get out there & have a coffee with a making-things-type-mate.

I’m working on something cute for a mate.

Happy weekend folks.

I’m using three strands of Ella Rae Classic Superwash held together (that’s equal to about 30ply) & a 15mm hook.

Hoping that this piece will curl in on itself & make something amazing. It’s very slow going…working with such big stuff doesn’t make for quick & easy handling.

More people making stuff & their creative spaces over here.
