Isn’t being a poet a type of craft ?

Wish I was crafty.

Those braids I do are called kumihimo, and they're really easy to pick up even if you've never done them before. The ones in that photo are "flat" (actually a truncated pyramid shape) but there's round braids that are even easier.

I've used craft thread, embroidery thread, perle cotton, knotting thread, wool, waxed cotton, shambala. If it's thread, you can use it. And they're a great distraction for me.

Ready for the Potteries Christmas sale, should they want them

 

[Lorcan]

So that first box has 100 braids, this one is a smaller collection of 35:



These are going to another rescue fundraiser hopefully. If they like them, I'll have more available next year.

One of the easier ones I've done over the years but it was a new recipe so fingers crossed it tastes ok.

I used a new type of wool for a first project. The wool was easy to work with but the pattern I tried didn't work out.
So I took the already finished head and transformed it into ... a guinea pig.

Since a sleeping guinea pig needs something to sleep in, I made a cuddle cup.

Wow they are brilliant. We tried crochet but it did not go to well!
So now we do knitting instead, that has worked out better!

Forgot to share it finished and in situ. Martin approvesView attachment 246532

Amazing!

 

[sam1]

I made these teeny weeny pigs a while back, complete with little felted bum cheeks

Oh my gosh! They are so cute

 

[sam1]

I haven’t done a puzzle in over 35 years!
Urgh - That makes me sound soooo old.

I really enjoyed this one.

Aiming for some quick wins. Pants for the 4 year old because gendered clothing is a huge issue and we need boy and girl pups on paw patrol pants. Trying to use Halloween fabric up from a couple of years ago too

I love making dream catchers

 

[Viennese Furbabies]

I've taken a break from crocheting and knitting for a while but now I'm back.
Before starting on a new sweater, I did another piggy, another chenille piggy, only a bit smaller than the last one.

Like it's bigger brother (or sister) it comes with a cuddle cup.

And this is my next project

Do you have patterns, or do you do freestyle?

These are freestyle. I've done so many piggies in the last two years that I don't need a pattern any more.

Cake, bit messy & smudged as my OH tried to ask me something while I was concentrating!
Also- yes I know spiders have 8 legs, but have you ever tried to pipe legs on a choc drop?!

Looks fab and I’m sure it will taste fab too.

Looks great.
I must admit I’ve never tried to pipe legs onto a chocolate drop.
I certainly wouldn’t have done such a good job as you.
