Valkyrie Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Oooh fab. They are all awesome photos. I'm still plodding on with the old quilt so nothing new just getting slower and slower!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Sometimes crafting is a big success, sometimes it is an epic failure. Dear Omleteers, I decide to share both So, I follow the pattern to the letter, it is a pattern I have successfully used before. Yet a different yarn, and the laziness in not doing a test swatch has resulted in me knitting a cardy for a giant. So if anyone knows a 7ft female who might like a cardy then let me know!

Cat tails Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 You could aways wash it at 60 degrees and hope it shrinks the right way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 It is 51% wool, 49% acrylic. I was tempted to try a 60 wash and see what happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Be a shame to spoil it. Bet it's lovely to cuddle up in today with all the fowl weather out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 True, Plum. I think I'll just use it as a house coat Harry one of my three cats was curled up on it earlier, so he's a fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 It looks fab! The sleeves are the right length and it's a good shape too. If you move the bottom two buttons up above all the others it will look more coat-like, but only if you wanted to make it more formal. Those buttons are cute too!

Jennifer Jane Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Some of you may remember that I set myself the task of making a needle point sampler in 3 weeks for a christening gift. Well I finished & framed it myself with a day to spare - good going for me. I've blocked out the name, just in case, and the colours do look a bit grubby in the photo. They're actually quite vibrant, honestly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Jane Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I went on a silver clay course, which I loved. I made six pieces, including this leaf.. Sorry it's so big - I still haven't got the hang of photobucket after all this time. I swear they change it just when I start to get to grips with it!

Daphne Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 That's lovely I've never heard of silver clay, I will go and look it up What is the 'bead' in the middle of the leaf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Wow, how fabulous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Jane Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks both. The bead is a freshwater pearl. We actually used silver paste to paint the leaves. I now walk around checking on leaves for suitability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Love the needlepoint and the leaf - both fab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 That's so pretty. Love the pearl - perfect little dewdrop. I have fabric, I have batting, I have thread. I'm going to have a bash at a Celtic cushion! That was the easy bit. Now I have to make a design that works! I've doodled and doodled and I think I'm on the right track - it needs . . . tweaking. I do love that word! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
