Just wondered what we all do on here!!

I just do knitting and cross stitch at the moment, used to do tapestry and wouldn't mind learning crochet!

I knit.

I do yes,

Ok I dont but im working on learning.

Its too bloody hard though.

i make jewlery, box's, general papercrafts, sew and amend clothes. What do you do?

Cross stitch is my main hobby then knitting. But I've tried card making, encaustic art, stamping latch hook rug making and I'm sure there's something else!

i do knitting and cross stitch, my friend is trying to learn me how to crochet but its hard

I thought crochet was the easiest to do?

No stitching for me either, just wine, wine and yes.......more wine :thumbsup:

I've done cross-stitch for many years as well as knitting, I'm kind of learning to crochet but don't appear to have much natural talent for it!

i craft cocktails does that count as a craft ?:thumbsup:

Jabber why do you want to learn to knit?

well anyone can throw some spirits together and make an alright drink or something rather vile where i carefully team together differnt flavours and spirits that balance beauifully to create ( craft ) a tasty, pleasurable and lovely drink :clap:
well thats what people say and always get me to be bar tender at their parties

I knit and embroider (machine and by hand). I also do a fair bit of beadwork. I used to do loads of cross stitch, though not so much of late. I'd really like to get back into pottery too.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I do crochet too, though I'm not very good at it at the moment.

I cross stitch, and I like blackwork too. I want to learn to crochet, as it seems to pair well with knitting, and I love Cross stitch, but knitting is my love at the moment.

I like blackwork too. I love the intricacies of the designs. There's an excellent resource here (http://www.blackworkarchives.com/), which has some information about blackwork on Elizabethan costume, as well as more general info about the patterns,

I've been an avid cross stitcher for abt 14 yrs...I lurve large intricate designs.

I usually only knit when a baby is around, and as my younger child is now 3, and none of my kith n kin are expecting, the needles are in storage.

I have been known to 'crochet' the odd shawl...I use crochet in the loosest term, as I kinda taught myself...but it works ok lol

What designs do you do? I'm a fan of some of the Told in a Garden patterns (though some are a bit too cheesy for me), the map designs (I can't remember the designer now, but the ones I mean are the county and country designs which have an outline plus lots of little pictures of key features of that country/county) and also the Heritage/V&A designs.

Haven't done much cross stitch for a while, but after seeing Turra21's Art Neuveau-style geranium design, I really fancy taking up the needle again.

Hi there, I'll try to post my last and current project:

Wow, they are intricate! They must take you absolutely ages to do.

Have you seen the Mirabilia (http://www.mirabilia.com/crossIndex2.html) designs? That style is generally not really me, but I do like the mermaid patterns. The use of beads and blended threads is lovely too.

Thanx, this size would generally take about 3 or 4 months I reckon, but I'm a SAHM, so I have a bit more time than most.
I've not done a Mirabilia design, but I do have a cpl of their charts in my stash (cherubs).
I've done some work with beads, but its a killa on the eyes lol

I've put some pics (http://the-lone-knitter.blogspot.com/) in my blog of a few of the cross stitch designs I've done over the years. I need to take more pics though

Hi Jules
you have some great pix, do u work on evenweave?

Hi
Yes, I prefer evenweave to aida! Although i'm struggling with evenweave at the minute cos i've got a problem with my eye. Saying that, i've not done any stitching for about 6 weeks

I've not done many things on fabrics other than aida, but I do intend on giving it a go...if I ever get through the mountain that is my to do list lol

I would like to get into clay pottery! Does anyone know where i could get my own pottery machine?

Knitting, trying to learn crochet, clothes making on the sewing machine to a point, tried card making, that rug making with the little bits of wool, cross stitch and embroidery, which i was better at when i was a kid, and i have made cakes shaped like tanks and trains with Mr Radish. I enjoyed making jewellry, but now Jencel has gone i wouldn't know where to go to get the stuff to do it. I always return to knitting though, that's my baby. Would love to learn to spin my own yarn and learn to weave.

Making miniatures for my dolls house, knitting, sewing, cross stitch and cookery.

i make cards but am starting to branch out. im on a college course in textiles and love felting, id like to do more of that, theres just not enough time in the day! i co-founded a craft group and all of our members are really talented, I admire each of them so much! www.craft-candy.org
