Crafter's Corner

Just finished this one today. I like to listen to music when I'm making them - I prefer knitting to reading a book.

 

Going round the edges when you've finished in either slip stitch or dc? I find that makes it look much neater.

 

You make some great tea cosy's Jenny

 

Thank you Simbad,
Jenny

 

That's cute Jenny - do you make them up or work from a pattern?

 

Some lovely things on here! What a creative lot you are! But I have to give a special mention to Jenny's strawberry tea cosy - it's absolutely gorgeous!!!

 

The cosy itself is straightforward enough GA. The bits and bobs come from this book. It's full of lovely things to make,

100 flowers to knit and crochet by Lesley Stanfield

 

Thanks Jenny - just had a look at the book online - looks some nice gifty things in it.

 

Long, dark winter days and nights beckon GA...

 

With so many poppy seedheads about I thought it would be nice to brighten them up for dried flower arrangement. Since it has been spitting with rain in the past few days and not much fun to stay outdoors, I picked up my paint brush and started to work on them. Here is the result

​

 

They are great fun Hsuh,
thanks for sharing,
Jenny

 

They look really good Hsuh. I binned all mine because I hate the smell of them.

 

My daughter's friend has been very supportive and loved the lavender cosy. She asked if I could make her one. Apparently, she's a bit eccentric, Bohemian Irish, and loves roses.
Is this OTT enough do you think ?

Jenny

 

Perfect Jenny she may even wear it when she goes out!

 

She sounds zany enough to do just that GA and it does get mighty cold in the middle of Ireland come Winter,
