Crafting Plans and Projects

So for Christmas I have fixed it for him.

I might add a bit more gold embroidery later. But not today as my fingers are killing me - it was all done by hand, including the bits you can't see reinforcing the holes from the inside! I also mended the inner zip but that doesn't make a good photo.

That looks great, Rosy! So good.

How lovely. That's beautifully done.

Despite not having done any form of embroidery since the age of about 9, I decided that now is a good time to embroider four allotment overhead views, one for each season.

They are quite small. Have included the one with my thumb for scale. I am going to go blind by the end of number four.

My god this is small

I am enjoying it though!

[overthehill]

That's so lovely, baa. How will it be displayed when finished?

[baargain]

I dunno :lol: since I have all four seasons, I want to mount them together somehow.

You’ve seen the jumper and dress/cardigan set before but this is the only pic I have of the cardigan I added to the knitting for J’a baby. I left it in the office for him in Jan and sent him a Teams message to confirm (I’d seen him in the office and mentioned it). He hasn’t actually confirmed he’s collected it or anything!

Also, the macrame plant banger I made last week. I’ve made another once yesterday to try and burn it into my brain. :lol:

We had a macrame teaching session last night.

Bean made a mini plant hanger and Elvis and I did the purple keychain by following a YouTube tutorial. She then did the black one from memory, though we agree they look better in a lighter colour.

Oh those are lovely! Are they relatively easy to do? Can you send me a link to the tutorial- I’d love to give those a try.

I’ve taken up cross stitch to occupy myself :lol: yellow is WIP and will have some flame pattern out the top but I’m waiting on more thread.

[wendy james]

Love the cross stitch!

Fab thank you!
