Show your (craft)work

Incorporating hobbies, computer games, Verm's Interesting Links and anything else you can think of excluding football and other spectator sports because these belong in the Sport section, but allowing sports you play yourself with your own body as that counts as a pastime.

I’d never tire of punching Lucy in the face. The woman from Attic24 I mean, not our Turtle!

I’ve been to Yarndale a few times and always had to walk away from her ‘display’.

The blanket is gorgeous though H1ppy!

My friend bought a pattern for a rather open crop top and asked me to work it up for her. I used the idea of that to make a similar one for her daughter.

I know 😆. I reckon my friend can pull it off. It’s not the weirdest thing I’ve made.

That’s amazing! I can’t imagine wearing it even when I was a teen with perky boobs, but fair play to anyone who would.
It’s like a normal midlife crisis only with more chandeliers and foreign languages.

Finally cast off and blocking!

You do need to use imagination with this design, as they are very drapey when worn.

That blanket is really lovely! And wow to the fried egg kini top! Each to their own. I'd squidge out of it all over the shop :lol:. I'll take Morgs lovely jumper thanks!

I have shown incredible skill here, painting pre cut shapes :mog:. Its not even really craft but W did some of his own and we had a few nice hours doing it.

It’s very neat though smal!

Well done Morgs, though I’m hoping you don’t get jumper weather anytime soon.

That’s so Blue Peter, smal! You need to make your own badge now :))

I LOVE the panda dress and H1ppy’s blanket. I also agree with PG that Kleio did at least make the crop slightly better with your colour choices!

This was very cack handed without a machine and limited time, but I bought Hop a onesie online to wear on her birthday that ended up being pitifully small, so I decided to make do and mend! It’s obviously messy (and also needs an iron) but I’m glad it won’t go to waste.

For a very short time, here’s the crop tops in action.

It's better in that colour scheme than the daisy version!

I’ve decided to make a blanket for my team member whose wife is expecting twins late July. I’m using some WI wool I bought and a few balls from a lucky dip. I quite like the colour combination.
