What are you making?

Haven’t made anything for ages, but was inspired by a lovely remnant in Laura Ashley sale and yesterday made 5 large cushion covers with envelope backs using a YouTube video, so they didn’t need zips. Total cost of £11:50. Compared with £40 for one on their website! ?

I’m crocheting an enormous throw for our super king size bed! It’s taking ages, and costing a fortune in wool!

I'm making dresses for an island hopping holiday in Greece later in the year.

I keep crocheting 'throws', which I shouldn't, as I have nobody left to give them to. Help! I don't want all this work to go to waste!

I'm making a granny square jacket with yarn that DH bought for me. It's buttercup yellow and coral coloured.
I made a blanket with it, and an using up what I have left.

Travelsafar I remember knitting this some years ago. It looked lovely when finished but made up my mind I'd never tackle another it took ages.

Thanks oldand - I just took it round to her and she immediately went into ‘play shopping’ mode, bless her! Buying things for her baby, ‘scanning’ them, and putting them in her bag ?.

That looks smart Bath, your gdaughter will be very pleased with it I should think.

I’ve just made this little bag for my granddaughter on my new embroidery machine. It’s the first thing I’ve made on it apart from practice pieces!

It's lovely, Auntieflo and reminds me of my DM, not that she ever wore anything like that but she did knit lots of Aran jumpers.

Apologies, it is for GGS, as none of the 3 large DGS wouldn’t even get their hands into it ?

At the weekend, I finished the little jumper that I was making for DGS.
I am now just waiting for him to come and fill it up.

With thanks to the GN’s who answered my query about how not to lose my cable needle.

Just came across this as I'm browsing I have knitted this blanket at least 10 times and the edging never looks as neat as I would like. TRAVELASFAR.

Oh wow! some brilliant articles have been made since I last looked.
Here’s my latest project. Finished tonight but started about 6 years ago !

I belong to a knitting group and knitting a cardigan for granddaughter at the mo, probably knitted around 40. I also sew and have fairly recently started making stuff out of stretch fabric. I feared this but bought some needles for stretch and use a stretch stitch for seams and it really isn't different to other cloth to sew. It doesn't fray so that's a bonus.

I am in complete awe of all of you, the quilts are absolutely stunning, I don't think I could ever achieve that.

These are my latest things, a pillow bed decorated with her favourite things for GD, a baby cardigan for the expected grandson that is now 3 days overdue, and a dress for another GD. The commission was 'a dress made by Granny with cats on' and I was given four days to make it from scratch!

I have just started making bumble bees from salt dough too.

I’m making salt dough wicker hearts. Hoping to be able to sell some

For the last 3 weeks I have been making leather laptop cases for my DD and friend. I make small leather goods but this is the most ambitious project I have tackled so far. Photo is of a couple of the pieces, but still lots to do.

I don’t know if this counts but it is a hobby.

Also these

Just finished a baby Layette for a new baby.

crystaltipps, what a beautiful dress!

All these clever crafters, make me envious of your talents.
I have just finished a pair of socks for GGS.
I bought him a really colourful pair at Christmas and he was delighted with them. I had a ball of pretty random yarn, so thought, I can do that!
Trying to find a pattern for a 2 year old was difficult, but managed to find one in a charity shop. It is really too big, but I have adapted the size, and just hope they don't swamp him.
I think Gramaretto and somebody else, has done socks recently, so would be pleased to be pointed in the way of a small pattern.

I finished this crochet top yesterday. I made it for my DGD, I hope it fits.
