What have you all been making?

Recommended Posts

I like working with the ribbon as it is much faster than other forms of embroidery. The silk ribbon is quite expensive though and I wondered if anyone knew of a good source.

 

Could you use satin ribbon? - I buy ribbon from this Ebay seller and had good quality ribbon and really fast delivery...

There is a stash bag of silk ribbon here....

I adore the birds, might need to try that :D I can crochet granny squares but changing colours is a bit beyond me :lol:

It is not too hard if you experiment a bit. I am a beginner with crochet and I certainly got better at it the more birds I made and I also put the join at the fold so it wasn't noticeable if I made a mistake :wink:

I think the silk ribbon gives a better result. I used 4mm for the pincushion. Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the craftyribbons site it looks really good :D

Next, ribbon embroidery! Not really, it's lovely but I can't buy anything else until I've done some of the stuff I've got already.

 

I have some bobble wool. Only 4 balls, 200g in total. Enough to make a 30 x 80cm rectangle. I can't decide whether to make it narrower but longer, for a scarf, or make a lap blanket. Any other ideas? The wool is called "Saphira". I think I got it from Aldi last year.

After almost three years in the making, I finally completed my granny stripe blanket WooHoo! It's having a much deserved wash and once it is on my bed I shall pop a photo up on here. The one I have just taken doesn't do the colours justice at all.

 

 

 

 

What shall I do now? :wink:

Socks. I'm knitting socks for this years Christmas presents. I really like making them, I've got a book of toe-up sock recipes with all sorts of decorations. I plan to sew on knitted embellishments like ladybirds on the outside cuff. I'll let you know how that goes, I'm quite a slow knitter which is why I've started now and have 10 pairs to knit. Also started another project in case there is a summer swap. I'm really excited about what I'm making. Sorry possible potentialswapee, it might look weird.

Not me but grand-daughter Lauren - she bought a blingy corset style top for £2 from the charity shop and was going to make a bag from it but she decided to make it into a cushion for her bedroom while she was with me today.......
