Crafter's Corner

This one's on its way to Ireland tonight - for my daughter who fell in love with the earlier one similar to this:

Jenny

 

I think I'll need something Jenny. If the sky looks a deep blue in my neck of the woods, you'll know it's not going well.

 

Lovely work on the tea cosy Jenny!

 

Im in the middle of three things at the mo i cant seem to concentrate at all

So here is my nigella trellis currently making a blue one as well for product photos for the shop



I also finished the one sock and weaved in all the ends. Cant be bothered to make the other one lol need to just start it tbh then i will be fine



And tonight i started decoupaging one of the flower pot men. Got bored tho so stopped lol

 

One sock deserves another Dips.... They'll be sooo cosy,
Jenny

 

I'm sure your daughter will be totally thrilled with that cosy Jenny - gorgeous colours!

Nice work Dips! Just wondering ... ... are you hopping?

@Sheal - sending positive vibes your way for that neckline. I was going to put for 'a neckline to die for' ... but then I suddenly thought of a noose probably not appropriate

 

Lol M and Jenny

I really do need to motivate myself to do the other. Its the black yarn thats putting me off i cant see what I'm doing. Therefore its not appealing to start.

Already planned my second pair they are going to be grey and pink :-)

 

Do you have a daylight lamp? Brilliant they are (I was given one as a gift last Christmas and during the winter I rely on it for a decent lamp when crafting). Might make working with the black yarn a little easier on the eye

You used to be able to buy just the bulbs which would fit into an ordinary table/standard lamp but not sure if they are still around (much cheaper than buying the designated lamp - but not quite as impressive if given as a gift though ).

 

Your work in progress is looking good Dips!

 

Thank sheal

And M gonna have to look for those bulbs got no space for any more lamps and the energy saving bulbs really aren't helping

 

I need some fine 3 ply pink baby yarn. Got a yearning to do an apple blossom one with some pale yellow stamens in the centre.. Impatient for Spring...,
Jenny

 

Oooooohhh that sounds lovely im picturing it now

 

3 ply Jenny! You'll be knitting forever! I knitted a shawl in 4ply for my grandson when he was born, it took me months.

 

Sheal,
I never knit anything bigger than a tea cosy...and the yarn would only be for the flowers!

I think the bulb I had was the blue one.
