Any 🎄 crafts started, and if so, what are you making?

I am not a crafter, but went with a friend who is, to Alexandra Palace yesterday for the Knitting and Stitching show and it was amazing. My friend bought loads and I even got a couple of cross stitch kits. Prices were very good. The show runs through Sunday the 8th if anyone is interested.

A Christmas wreath to go into a WI raffle at our pop up fayre next week. I’m quite pleased with it!

3/4 ways through crocheting a baby blanket using the basket weave stitch. Next project is to knit a pair of socks, which l have not done before. Hopefully they will turn out ok. Fingers crossed. 🤞

Just completed a little crochet baby hat with yarn donated to our Knit & Natter group.

Currently knitting small children’s jumpers which go abroad to Romanian orphanages

A shawl, using up all the leftover wool from other projects.

Should have added, they’re very easy! No ‘proper’ sock shaping, knitted on 2 needles.

DH has started making Christmas bunting.

That’s reminded me - if anyone’s got a mass of small oddments of yarn to use up, there’s a free pattern for mini knitted Christmas stockings on the Jean Greenhowe website. They’re only about 4” high, and make very attractive bunting if strung together with those mini clothes pegs.
I made some last year - all white tops, but assorted colours and/or stripes for the rest.
I still have a mass of tiddly little oddments though!

Making cards , but they will cost to post !

Carrying on with squares for a blanket for charity.

It's a bit mindless but easy to do in front of the tv in the evenings.
Until I've made enough I daren't look at the Jean Greenhowe book.

I’ve just started on a winter robins cross stitch and plan to finish a knitted Mrs Santa before Christmas. In the post today I received the cross stitch kit that will be my 2024 project - very excited to start in January.

I’m just about to start a scrap book journal. I was given the scrapbook as a gift and thought it would be a be a nice Autumn project.

I have made my 3 piece outfit for a themed gathering, each piece can be worn at any time, so it will not be stashed away and wasted

Stockings from a old cream wool blanket and tweedy remnants, just popped back from town with some velvet pom poms. And a (big) bar of Cadburys.
