weaving? I have a rigid heddle loom (table top style) and the books and one of these days I'm going to try it out! Only problem is, it takes away from my stitching time! That's why I could never get the hang of knitting or crochet (which I still want to learn)

Wool!

feeds@yuku.com (Rowena from Oz) — Mon, 19 May 2008 03:27:29 GMT

About two years ago a local mag in Aust. bought out a gorgeous pattern for a crochet rug. Anyway, I priced it at the time, and it was going to cost $600 to crochet, which I thought was over the top. A girlfriend gave me some cheaper alternatives for buying the wool, (the mag cited the most expensive shop in Aust. to buy the wool) but I thought I would ask where everyone gets their wool, and if they take online orders. I just can't get this rug out of my head! (I sometimes use this as...

Hi everyone,

Lately I have been doing quite a bit of knitting. My favourite knitting designer is Jean Greenhowe, who designs some adorable toys and dolls.

This was for a co-worker's baby girl:

Beading Storage

feeds@yuku.com (Rowena from Oz) — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 17:45:51 GMT

Hi everyone

I have recently got into beading, from the Jill Oxton magazines. I am having trouble at the moment finding a decent storage system for the beads I want to use. I first found these tiny little indivual containers which I liked as when I was using that colour I could tip the beads into the lid and it made them easier to get at. Now, for teh life of me I can't get any containers the same. What does everyone else use?

TIA
Rowena

Stitching groups - just started ours!

feeds@yuku.com (puffthelacedragon) — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 03:09:29 GMT

A while ago there was a thread about stitching groups - well a group of 5 of us from work had our first ever stitch and b**** meeting last night! I took along my lace pillow, as I am so close to finishing AtC I was worried I'd finish mid way through, and I didn't want to take 2 projects. Sonia dug out her spinning wheel, then abandoned it for her lace when she saw me pull out mine! Two other friends were busy knitting (although had a go on my lace pillow at the end of the night), and...

Lace making progress

feeds@yuku.com (puffthelacedragon) — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 03:43:22 GMT

Pattilynn's thread reminded me that I hadn't posted these pics of my current lace project 'Margaret', which I took on Monday. I'm trying to get this done by June, as a b'day present for my mother-out-law, but progress is slow as I only ever do XS at home!!!

sorry can't remember who was going to try lace making... (bobbin?)

feeds@yuku.com (Patlynn316) — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 13:19:51 GMT

have you tried it yet? My cousin says I'm a glutton for punishment. I found a beginners kit online. (man I thought cross stitch and quilting was expensive!) that was a good price.

just wondering if it is difficult to catch and and if you are enjoying it. (whoever you are! )

Soapmaking

Something different...I was looking for something I could make up quickly (less than two weeks) and in a significant amount (40+) for bridal favors for my baby sister's surprise wedding shower this weekend.
Decided to make some decorative soaps -added fragrance and color. Finished them in little organdy bags with a ribbon and heart LOVE charm. They came out rather nice and now I'm hooked! Went back and got some other shape molds and will definitely be doing this as a craft with...

Ever feel you need to eliminate one of your crafts?

feeds@yuku.com (seawitch0313) — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 22:31:54 GMT

I'm an eccletic person and I like having several hobbies to rotate from. But lately I feel like I'm surrounded in 'stuff' that I don't have time to devote to. Right now I'm thinking the scrapbooking stuff needs to go. I won't get rid of all of it, just box it up and put it where I'm not tripping on it all the time. I'm going to finish my Jamaica album first, and devise a system of keeping my future pictures organized while its all put away. Maybe...

I had this crazy idea of making a bunch of Elizabeth Design into some kind of quilt for my daughter Elizabeth. Problem was I can not in any fashion sew (besides xs) or quilt. Jane (jrhboxer) came to my rescue and decided to kindly help my crazy idea come to life.

Yesterday the quilt arrived and here it is:

Knit sweater repair

I'm not a knitter, but I know people who are, but we still don't know how to go about this. I have a knitted sweater that I love, but there is a whole in the shoulder (like a moth hole or something). Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks guys!
