Thread: Anyone a bit crafty?

I crochered (ain't got a clue on spelling!) baby a blanket over the weekend! Got some wool and a hook on Thursday, got how to do it videos up on YouTube and off I went!!

Going ask mum to teach me how to knit I think after pay day wen I can get some needles I think!

Mum also treated me to a winnie the pooh cross stitch kit from a car boot yesterday!

Really back into my crafting at the moment!!

Wow I'm impressed learning crochet from youtube! I'm going to knit a bolero & the edging is crochet I thought about doing my own edging but now may give youtube a try for tips

Oh wow Youtube is a good idea lildanni, I might try that as I simply cannot get the hang of crochet, no idea why as I am good at all crafts but my crochet seems to end up looking messy! Maybe I just need to practise more

over the years i have come across some great finds in the charity shops when it comes to wool, i remember a whole pack of 10 balls of new blue and white soft sirdar wool, and i made a really cuddly soft baby blanket from it and it was only a couple of pound for the whole pack , but they do get snapped up by people like me who is always on the lookout for cheap finds
