Crafty folks of MN, what are you all making lately?

[lucysmam]

I'm starting dd2's Snow White dress shortly & wondered what other folks are on with?

Anything Christmassy?

I'm cross stitching daleks...

Oh Angua that is BRILLIANT!!

Your own design?

Socks, as usual :-)

I've just finished 2 large crochet blankets for dd and ds2 and I'm making a large throw for the sofa. Almost finished the call the midwife baby blanket, a vintage Bonnet and matinee jacket. These are the two finished throws

I've just learned to crochet and I am doing some squares for Woolly Hugs and a blanket that is one huge granny square. That looks great but I'm not sure I know how to finish it. It's also square which isn't that practical for a sofa blanket. Any suggestions?

I also want to crochet a christmas tree but I can't find a decent pattern.

I'm making a corner to corner crochet blanket with all my oddments if yarn and I'm also making some amigarumi Christmas mice :)

Ooh, thanks for sharing pics!

Love the snowflakes...might add to my 'if I ever get time' list .

I seem to have rather massively over-estimated how much fabric I needed . Have about 1.5m of royal blue cotton left so far...

SergeantAngua that's amazing! I can't cross stitch for toffee as I've not the patience, but that's almost worth learning for!

House scarf in progress!

I've started a scarf for DH, got a temperature blanket on the go and I'm working on some snowflakes and Christmas trees that are going to be put together as Christmas bunting. All crochet.
I'm also waiting for some t-shirt yarn to arrive so I can make a nice big basket to put blankets in.

I have just finished my first corner to corner blanket (in picture), and am over half way through my next one.

I have many other WIPs, including 2 knitted scarves and 2 blankets!

My trouble is I see new wool and have to buy it, then want to start on it straight away! I got some real bargains from charity shops.

It's an addiction but I find it good for my anxiety.

Wow, brilliant pictures!

I am cross-stitching some Christmas tree decorations, and planning some pompom garlands (I bought a plastic pompom maker to save cutting out all those cardboard polos).

I should be making a bumbag for my DSIL, but I'm a bit nervous of all the zips.

More cards like this... I made this a wee bit ago. Gotta sort out my ink n stamps

That's lovely DrewsWife, is it all ink?

Great photos. nantucket your blanket is lovely. I am epically terrible at chrochet!
socks your sock would match my hats.
Everyone loved my hat and scarf last year that I'm spreading the rainbow around this year. I think a bit of colour on a winters day is lovely.

I've just handed over some prem baby cardigans and hats to the local hospital. I'm in the middle of a cardigan and hat for the youngest grandson and then it's going to be cushion covers. Then I must try the cross stitch again, as I have loads of kits.

Ooh such lovely thing you clever people are making

I have just started a big rag rug - I only recently learnt how to do it (my sister went to day course on rugging, started one and when she saw me threw it at me saying 'I hate this, you finish it' ) and it turned out I loved it ! So I finished off her little one and now am doing a bigger one of my own.

Am also knitting some place mats fro myself out of some rough tweedy wool, some leg warmers for my sister, a cuddly toy for (grown up!) DD, and some gloves for DS's MIL. Have also got a few things finished for Knit for Peace that just need ends sewn in and I'll send them off.

I like to have lots of things on the go at once

I'm making a corner to corner for a baby due in February. I did some zombie heads for Halloween and I'm doing some Christmas tree bunting (no pic for that yet).

I'm crocheting a Settlers of Catan blanket for DH, knitting a monkey for my Nephew and will crochet a horse for my toddler charge, all for Christmas :)

I'm making Christmas bunting at the moment.

I've got one more piece to finish, another red triangle that will have a felt robin on a green button branch, and then it can go on the ribbon.

I can't decide between using a brown hessian type ribbon or a red and white merry christmas ribbon.

purpledaisies is the pterodactyl from the knitted dinosaurs book? They come out nicely (though the head pattern is wrong iirc)

A cloud mobile for new baby

My pterodactyl is from a jean greenhowe pattern booklet called knitted toys...there's a link further up the thread. He is looking good so far but I haven't sewn all the bits together yet. I might make a few and do a mobile for a new niece or nephew due in May. Will post a pic when I'm finished.
