Crafts Anyone?

I've been crocheting for 9 years now and have just taken up knitting. The blanket in the background is one of my crocheted things and the thing in the middle is a fancy scarf I'm knitting for my sister in law. The pic really doesn't do that yarn justice. It's in multi colors of fall and it has whispy strands and loops in different sections. It's so soft, I would say similar to cashmere. Anyone else have pics of their crafts? I would love to see them.

You are so lucky to know how to do either. I want to learn so badly. I think I'll try to sign up for a class this fall...

I can embroider, but that's about it. No pics of anything. :(

The picture DOES NOT do the yarn justice. It's so soft and neat looking!:D

Val -- Did you make that one blanket I used when Sim & I took a nap?

Yes, I made that one, too! It was mom's Christmas present last year.

I used to cross stitch but I haven't done it in a while. My mom taught me how. I couldn't get any pics of my stuff because I have no idea where I put them but I took a pic of my mom's most recent project. :)

I have dabbled in so many crafts in my life, and I really do love creating things. I have done lots of counted cross stitch projects but one of my favorites is this one which I did of Trevor. Actually I didn't design the project but I made adjustments here and there to make the coloring match his markings. :)

Oh Pam, i love it! :D

I buy inexpensive plastic and oak frames, decorate them for any occasion. I give them as gifts and will sometimes sell them and donate the money to the rescue organization I used to volunteer with in Connecticut. I'll try and get some pictures.

That sounds great Donna - I'd love to see some pics.

And those tapestries and cross-stitch are gorgeous too - I'm busy with a kitty one at the moment - although goodness knows when I am going to finish it.

I used to always cross-stitch whilst watching TV - having Ally around soon ended THAT idea:rolleyes:

I also used to take a small sampler with me when I travelled - we have a 6-hour stopover when we fly to South Africa - but now with new security you cant take any needles or anything in hand luggage:(

my aunt taught me to crotchet. and i'm making a blanket now. it's not toltal done, not even half way done. but i'll post a picture of it any way because i'm really proud od t:D

I'm really fond of cross-stitching and have done many and various items. Most have been given as presents (when framed) or sent as cards.
I've never got to grips with crotcheting and my knitting is pretty bad! Can't read the daft patterns!!
I adore glass painting.
At the moment I'm up to the eyes in making Christmas cards - having great fun! There's not a flat surface in the house that's free of bits and bobs!

I spin wool, flax and angora (bunny fur) and I've spun dog hair too! (Cody's:D) I also weave on both a large floor loom and a small table loom. Don't have any pics though! Have to do that soon. Everyone's work is SO beautiful. We have some very talented Pet Talkers!:)

That is so cool! How much dog hair would you need to make a scarf? We were talking about this the other day. I can start saving Duke's. Maybe I can make you a blanket or something in return for the favor :)

I make fishing villages out of driff wood. I haven't done it in a awhile though. There only room for so many of them. I now started making them into cabins for some friends that are more into the country life.

Lately I been making swags out of dried flowers and such for over door ways etc.

I can never stay with the same craft to long...I get bored easy.

Don't have a picture though, but you did make me think that it might be a good idea to take a pic. or two. You never know they might fall apart after a few years, sense I made them, and memories are good to save in pictures.

I have been crocheting and knitting for a very long time, but here is one that I really love, I was making it for my daughter but my husband took it away from her, and keeps it in a plastic bag, keeps it hidden from the kids. LOL
