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.

Oh my goodness!

Does she want to turn it into a small business? I’d buy a few off her. Betty would LOVE to send some of those to her friends.

Those are amazing Pip! I must see if I can push my kids into that and get them off Minecraft...

I'm following too, they're really pretty! I would give her another sale if she's looking for them, my niece would love one.

She’s happy to take commissions because for some reason she’s very attached to the ones she’s done already.

George is the same! He keeps making them for friends and then keeping his favourites.

Liv can't really do the knotting but she's been making melted perler bead bracelets instead.

So my Zookeeper’s blanket is pinned out ready for blocking, which I’ll hopefully do later. Then I want to back it with a piece of grey felt and it’ll be ready to go to my friends!

I can either give it to my friend whose little boy is two months old and who I’ve already sent a blanket to, or I keep it for a couple of months then give it to my friend who is 8 months pregnant. However I’ve got enough yarn left to make a second one for her if I want, and I don’t really think I’d use it for anything else at the moment. The question is whether I want to spend the next couple of months making a second one without the benefit of novelty to keep me on track..,

That's great! It looks like a lot of work so I'm not sure I'd be up for doing another one so soon. :))

That's brilliant! If it were me, trying to make a second would mean baby 2 would be getting it as a 5th birthday present, so I'd definitely keep it for them.

That's gorgeous! If you've already given your first friend a blanket I'd definitely keep it for the second, it's never so enjoyable a second time.

Thanks, I think you’ve all convinced me. I might still start on a second one and if I remain enthusiastic about that and it comes together relatively quickly, it can go to the first friend. Or I can abandon it for a while and no one would be the wiser.
