My boys went to school today (huzzah!) so have spent the day finishing this new paper cut design and a few others.

I’ve been doing lots of crochet design while they’ve been off but it’s nice to crack out the scalpel blades again!

What are you making at the moment?

So lovely to see all your work - my mental health would be in a right state if I didn’t have my crafts, keeps me focused on something productive. Can’t believe how many years I went without making anything!

I’m playing with crocheting a blanket for myself. It went wrong and I undid it. Now I keep changing my mind what pattern I want.

@Prokupatuscrakedatus Wool Warehouse is a small online business that’s good for yarn.

One of my teenage grandsons asked me for some masks for when he goes back to school. I made a dozen, some for his two brothers as well - they wouldn't have thought of asking until the day before.
Other than that I'm unravelling a cardigan I knitted in the first lockdown because it came out huge. I'll knit it again smaller.

I am sure it is, but I am not in the UK and my wool provider is definitely closed right now.

I’m planning on making some punch needle coasters for us all with our initials on them.

Knitting a scarf and two ‘rainbow babies’ for Knit for Peace. All nearly finished.

I'm about to begin a fair isle hat...it should be ready for Christmas 2022 Wink

I'm crocheting a temperature blanket in Tunisian crochet. Three rows per day. Should keep me out of trouble

Using up yarn on a mosaic crochet blanket. Just discovered mosaic crochet. It’s my new love!

I am cross stitching. It’s called a stitch a long and part of the pattern is released each month. The second part was released today but I haven’t finished the first so I’m frantically stitching!

@ArseInTheCoOpWindow I love that!

SophieB100 · 25/02/2021 21:42

Wow, you're all so talented.
I knit - am currently knitting a very pretty baby blanket for DD's best friend who is expecting in April. If I finish in time, I'll add hats and bootees. She doesn't want to know the sex, so I'm doing pastel yellows and creams. I love knitting for babies!

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 25/02/2021 21:45

Yeah, I usually get bored, but this has me hooked. Mosaic crochet is quite a recent invention l think.

Some beautifuls crafts on here! I am currently doing a labour of love and cross stitching Skye from Paw Patrol for my DD. If she decides she's over PP in the next few weeks I may cry Grin

I’m making a crocheted granny square blanket for my niece 💜

I love mosaic crochet, been designing some patterns - snowed under with paper cuts at the moment but then I have a lot of patterns to write up.

Are you do the cut at the end of the row or the double row version? I prefer the former but feels like a waste of yarn!

RockPaperScissorLizardSpock · 25/02/2021 21:55

OP, I’m a paper cutter too! It was the first craft I picked up when suffering with PND and I was soon hooked!
I have since taught myself to crochet since lockdown, and I’m completely hooked once again (pun intended Smile!)

SinkGirl · 25/02/2021 21:58

I was an obsessive paper cutter for years before my twins came along - don’t have so much time these days so I mainly just design templates to sell and the only cuts I get time for are the samples for the templates. Hard to chip away at a piece when you have to keep your blades locked away 😂

I'm going to start knitting a hot water bottle cosy/cover

I need to make a tea cosy because our current one is torn

I'm half way through an embroidery project

I have made some images of my dc using parts of different photos as well as some images from google and have turned them into fairies, sharks and witches

I've almost finished the border on my huge CAL blanket, just waiting for a delivery of half a ball from a friend.

Then started a new baby blanket, even though I have eleventy million WIPs that I should be finishing

There is some beautiful work on here!

I'm making a crochet blanket for a friend. I've also unpicked a lace crochet blanket I've unpicked before because of holes. It has stretched this time. So I will have made it 3 times in 25 years with the same cotton!

I love crochet.

CheesePlant80 · 25/02/2021 22:45

Lots of linocut printing! This is one of my latest.

I've just taken up silver smithing and am totally hooked.

This is my first ever attempt at making myself a plain silver ring. I've never much used tools before so it's a steep learning curve
