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.

Can you post the link. I'll have a look. I sounds a bit like a pattern I used to make a baby cardigan.

I've only got the PDF version as of a paid for pattern. I think I've got it now, the last who wrote the pattern did a video for us. :)) Thank you though!

Oh gosh, I'm sorry it's problematic, Shoe! It's probably beyond me in that case. :))

Baa! You made a mini palm!

By the time anyone else tries the jumper I'll have it mastered. :lol: I'm on version 2 of row 3 at the moment. ;)

You must have great eyesight Baa!

This is garish beyond words but the intended wearer loves it. The back is all the leopard print and she’s been eyeing it up since I bought it. :lol:

I'm using scraps, so multi coloured and IN YOUR FACE.

WJ, it's for Sproglete isn't it?

I mentioned on the daily thread that I’ve reacted to something. I don’t usually buy yarn with wool in it, but missed that the Aran for my socks contained some. I didn’t notice when doing the socks but as it was a 400g cone, I’d started a small jumper for a Christmas present but I’ve had to give up as picking it up again has set off the reaction again.

It’s my just desserts for not checking. #badvegan ;)

I rushed to get those tops/cardigans finished for a baby I thought was due in February and there’s still no sign of him. I hope you can find the time/motivation!

It’s been a repurposing weekend. 3/4 length leggings for Elvis out of a top of mine, a dress for Sproglette from one of mine and a top for her out of a cock-up (I’d part sewn a tunic for me before realising I’d messed up the strips when cutting out). There’s also 4 pairs of scrap pants once I’m done - they like homemade ones for sleeping in. :lol:

I love the scrap pants.

I'm still working on my jumper, it's going very slowly. :lol:

I would show you my show progress but I think we're full up for photos.

I've just come across these Worry Monsters, and thought people might like to have a look. The patterns are for knit and crochet, and the monsters are used by therapists to help children to talk about difficult experiences.

Ooo, thanks, Morgs. I’ve emailed the SENCO at school to see if she would like a couple to test out.
