ChookieCaz Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I'm interested, have to talk to the rest of the family and hope it doesn't clash with A-levels, the Church weekend away and our one week's annual holiday! I enjoy various craft activities and it sounds like it could be an opportunity to try some more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I've tried crochet & knitting in the round this weekend & can't do either. Crochet can't get past a chain stage & knitting on circular needles, I can't join it up. So they have both been put to one side. Maybe someone could show me how? Normal knitting on 2 needles I can do & I'm knitting a tomato hat at the moment! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 What a wonderful idea! I'd love to come if I may, date dependant (and if I'm allowed a weekend away once I'm married ) I haven't knitted for years and have never managed to crochet, but would love to get some tips on both. I mainly cross stitch and card make now. Oh - and I'm also fairly hardy, can make do with sofa or probably borrow a tent and sleep with the chickens!

Egzandra Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 That is a really lovely idea. I would love to come to the craft weekend if it happens to be on a free weekend. I do crochet mainly, although I can knit. I have seen that quite a few people would like to learn to crochet, and as I am left handed this might be useful for other left handers. I have also got a knitting machine, which when I mentioned it on the forum this week some people showed an interest in it. I could bring it so that people could have a go. As for accommodation, I could borrow my daughter's tent and bring a sleeping bag, the tent is big enough for more than one. If we are able to do this, do let us know what we could do or bring to make it easier for you so that you can enjoy it as well. Many thanks Egzandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ana's flock Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thanks Egzandra - I'd love to have a go at machine knitting. I can help any hand knitters to make up their own designs, and if anyone wants I can also help with drawing and painting (watercolours, oils... but oils can get messy and I'm sure Ms Kyckling likes her furniture the colour it is so perhaps we stick to yarns...) Regarding accommodation I'm fairly local in Milton Keynes so I can go home in the evening and come back in the morning. I'm really looking forward to this.

Omletina Kyckling Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 I think we need to start to think about dates for this as people get booked up very quickly for summer things.....anyone out there with children? When are the summer holidays? Once I have an idea, I'll put a poll on here so people can give best dates.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMS Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Please may I join you? I'm a much better buyer of craft "ingredients" than I am actually doing/making anything though... so whilst I probably won't be able to teach anyone to do anything, I would be bringing a spare bedroomful of s"Ooops, word censored!"booking/cardmarking stuff that you can all use I would be really grateful if someone would teach me how to knit in a circle and crochet. Thanks, Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Has a date been decided for this? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 I put a poll on the forum with suggested dates, http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=39929 but hardly anybody filled it in so it all died a bit of a death I think!! I'm still happy to go ahead if people are wanting to come!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omletina Kyckling Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Judging by responses, I'd say either August 15/16 or 22/23 would be the two most likely weekends, I'm free on either of those, what about others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ana's flock Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Either weekend suits me fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Do we need a final poll for those weekends so people can vote which they can do and we can choose a date?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I'm still interested I think the first date is good for me though - the second one clashes with V festival! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 On the basis I have nothing booked for the entire summer holiday as I am finding it difficult to get a dog & chook sitter, I am free either. I hadn't voted on any of the dates as I was free for all...was awaiting a final decision! I asked what DH thought of me escaping on an Omlet crafty weekend & he said yes - just tell me when & I'll be there with or without tent etc!!

Fizzle Knit Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I would love to come too if I can pluck up the courage! - will wait to see what date you decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I can't speak for the others Fizzle Knit, but I don't bite! I can't imagine any chook mummy would be that scary to another chook mummy....we all seem on the same (rather wonky!) wavelength, judging by the polls going on on the Nesting Box at the mo!!!!!

Omletina Kyckling Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 SHALL WE BE BRAVE AND PLUMP FOR AUGUST 15/16?!! Is there anybody who can't make it then? It seems most are saying they can so I'm suggesting that for a crafty (and winey!) weekend!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'll put it in the diary! I'm all of a dither now...what to bring & share...! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egzandra Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 August 15/126 suits me as well! How exciting! I'll put it in my diary. Thank you Omletina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
