Facebook selling photos...fun

[londonrach]

Saw this for sale as a teachers present and had to share....

Not to my taste. Do you think they look more like something a gran would make?

Down..not sure its to anyones taste...coasters so get wet but made of wool!!

I quite like them, but then I like crochet things.

I didn't realise they were coasters, aren't they a bit bumpy surely a cup or glass wouldn't stay upright on those?

Not Facebook, but spotted this when looking on eBay for paw patrol cake things for DS birthday this morn. Such likeness, particularly like the use of pinking shears to cut the random shapes under the letters. Yours for only £17

Bornnie? Born Nie? so confused.

Anyone remember the doll knitted toilet roll covers?

Bornnie?? what is that???

They are doilies!

Is that as in new bornie baby, maybe?

I actually really like those crochet owls!

Not sure it's nice to criticise something someone has made. I think they're nice and a lot of work goes into stuff like that

deb but coasters made of wool are...erm...inadvisable at best, surely?

If they're being offered for sale, people have every right to comment.

The owls are cute. The sort of thing you can hang inside a cupboard to make you smile when you open it. The doilies are pretty, but a bit old useless in today's homes.

Why? They can just be washed if necessary.

Some people use them for display, and other use them under jar candles etc.

I thought the coasters were tiny little hats for teachers. 😬

I do lots of crochet but make coasters from t-shirt yarn or jute string. Coasters are better if made from a cotton type yarn rather than wool.

The paw patrol cake decs are actually very good value. They take a long time to make. And the rectangles the letters are sitting on aren't done with pinking shears they're scallop edged cutters. Sending the lettering by post without being attached to a sturdier base would more than likely result in broken lettering on arrival.

The crochet work - I'm not a crochet fan but again, a lot of work goes into it and it will be appreciated as a kind gesture.

I know how much time it takes to make sugarcraft items. I do it as a hobby so know what kind of finish can be achieved (i.e. I'd at least make an evenly spaced and uniform square under each letter)

I wouldn't dream of charging anyone for something that badly executed.

i crochet and im not a gran i agŕee that coasters should be made in cotton but i think the owls are cute

And yet you thought pinking shears had been used.

I can't believe that anyone would set up a thread to laugh at other people. No matter how 'fun' it is portrayed

Grilledaubergines - because it looked like they'd cut the 'squares' with scissors, not the right equipment. Anyway, my intention wasn't to poke fun, i'm more gobsmacked that anyone could sell something so bad.

I actually like the owls and crochet, they're well made.

At least the crochet stuff involves skill, unlike the usual scrabble tile shite!
