Finished projects - show me yours!

[Blithereens]

Who's finished something recently? I don't have many crafty friends and love looking at things people have made.

Here's mine: some oven gloves for BIL and SIL who are moving house. One of three projects I'm making out of a pair of DH's old jeans!

Never sewn curves before so I'm chuffed with these and I didn't have to use bias binding! Win! I did have to slip stitch the turning gap closed which was a pain in the bum, but I prefer the look than if I had top stitched instead.

Wow, lots of beautiful things.

Here's mine. Crocheted spotty cushion

How fabulous! Thank you for sharing!

Oh god. I haven't even started sewing the squares together. Tomorrow! Then I have a plan to stuff with foam and hide bells inside.

Don't forget to post a pic on here when they are done!

I'm really enjoying seeing everyone's work, so far I have to say that theninjas crocheted star blanket is my favourite! fabulous colours!

Oooh love this...here's my latest crochets bits and bobs. The last one is a tapestry crochet phone holder. The button is a bit off centre - but hey...

I made these for my girls at christmas , they are minecraft mad

what I love crochet, I have a huge throw my BFF crocheted for me (took her months) that I love, your cushions look so snuggly and fab!

painting those are incredible, were they thrilled??

I have finished this 'Leftie' scarf this evening. I don't normally knit, but this was a fun, easy project.

I love that! How cool and unusual!

Wow love all these things, the girls dresses are beautiful! And I'm definitely making the fairy doors!

Have just had a nosey on the pps blog, looks like we have similar tastes! Am going to bookmark it =)

I feel spectacularly untalented now. These are so beautiful and professional looking. I have never made anything in my life but I am feeling a bit inspired!! I am having my first baby in October, what would be an easy thing to make? I'd love to do a little blanket or cardigan but wouldn't know where to start.

Knitted blankets for my new niece (5 months) and nephew (6 weeks!)

And a wee jumper for the Fish'n'Chip baby project.

Finished this bag last night for a friend (well not quite finished as the frame will be silver not bronze - but it hasn't arrived from China yet!) She has a plain but gorgeous navy dress to wear to a wedding and wanted something to jazz up her outfit and be a conversation starter, so we picked this fabric from my stash :)

I'm so glad everyone's still sharing! Love this thread if I do say so myself

Beautiful blankets, and what an amazing bag!! I'd buy that if I saw it in a shop.

chances, why not try crocheting a granny square blanket? There are tons of tutorials online if you Google. There is even an animated Wikihow! www.wikihow.com/Crochet-a-Granny-Square

Ooh, can I join in? This is mine, my first ever attempt at a bear, who is now residing with my friend's beautiful 1 week old DD

I don't think I'm allowed to advertise on here Blithereens otherwise I would direct you to my shop! (I just sell stuff on etsy and I take commissions - I have so little time free to get sewing done, my stock is always low though)

I love crafts, but machine sewing is my thing at the mo. I have tried so many kinds (my woodworking course was the least successfull although I did produce a 'corner' by the end of it LOL)

There are some fabulous things on here :)

Wonderful makes ladies - love the bag lynniep x

I can't find my camera but this afternoon I've run up a family set of travel-laundry bags (pillowcase-style from cheap polyester) and a sunhat for DS from one of DH's old shirts (he wears through the elbows and leaves acres of good fabric on the back).

My most recent full project was a wool satchel-style shoulder bag lined with cotton.

Pook I want one of those! I can't knit but may be able to strong arm a friend, unless you accept commissions? Yes, please can you link to the pattern.

Love the colours in that baby blanket Polter!

Thank you, that's really kind

Here's the pattern

Thanks Pook did you make yours smaller than the one in the pattern? And what kind of wool is non-itchy enough to wear around your neck?

Mine has less repeats than the original design, but I used DK rather than the specified sock weight. I used a full 100g ball of the main colour, and then just scraps of other colours I had left over.

This was just a practice run really as I don't knit very often, so it's a cheap acrylic. If I made it again I think I would use Drops Alpaca, it's really soft.

Thanks again Pook I prefer your smaller version, and I've just googled that Alpaca, it comes in some lovely colours.

I really should try (again!) to learn to knit.

Definitely give it a go, I learnt to knit and crochet last christmas and I love it.

Get on ravelry.com for some inspiration, it's addictive though.

Polter, is the pattern for your blanket available online? It is beautiful.
