I was making pom pom garlands and wreaths but, the wool that I've been using has run out and I can't get any more until non essential shops re open.
What else can I be getting on with in the meantime?
I need inspiration

I can’t knit or sew or anything but we all had a go at making something crafty for a raffle at work to raise money for the food bank. I made a chocolate surprise advent calendar.

That's a great idea @MellieNelba, I might do something similar for DC's next year. Have already bought theirs for this year

Can you order yarn from online yarn stores. Deramores, Wool Warehouse, Love Crafts, Black Sheep are good ones.

I'll have a look. I'm new to this. I just wanted to use the same wool I'd been using for continuity with my projects.
I'll have a look at other stockists.
Thanks Flowers

Love Wool Warehouse, give it a go!
I’m crocheting blankets.

I painted a bauble !
Well I used a Sharpie for the black then just splodged some silver on as I am still waiting for my copper paint to arrive .

I'm making cross stitch Christmas Cards. Not quite finished off the mounting yet, but pleased so far. I only started cross stitching during the first lockdown and am really enjoying it!

I've ordered the wool from wool warehouse
Thanks Flowers

I like the bauble idea
And cross stitch, I can imagine that being a nice relaxing thing to do
I can't knit, I've tried crochet several times but always end up messing up then can't work out how to rectify my mistakes

I think knitting is much easier than crochet - never got the hang of it. But my 15yo DD taught herself the basics over lockdown and has been crocheting sweet little animals and stuff which apparently is quite hard! She just used You Tube videos.

NotExactlyMrsCurrentAffairs · 26/11/2020 11:22

Yeah, there's loads of YouTube videos for that, I used them too.
I'm ok until I go wrong, then I give up.
