I've nearly finished a rooster just two more tail feathers to sew on

However looking at him from the front one eye is higher than the other
So he is literally cock eyed and will need some delicate surgery.

(And before you ask where our creations are...let’s just say it’s a pretty poor show at GNHQ. One of us - ok, me 
- had to be cut free from a chair during their only attempt at knitting and that seems to be par for the course round these parts.)
This is the shawl I knitted for my baby granddaughter. Knitted in 2 ply, it tested my patience like nothing has ever done before but I am very proud of the end result.
Oooh! I missed the teddy's genitalia so went back to have a look! And you're right! 
Which just goes to show that I was more enthralled by your beautiful handiwork than the teddy!
This is what I’m doing just now. I’m hoping it’ll end up as a snood. I’ve never used a “fluffy” yarn before but with a bit of patience I’m getting there. I have had a couple of mistakes that I’ve had to take back and that is difficult with that yarn but hopefully I’ll get there - maybe in time for next winter! ?
Gransooz that looks lovely and cosy. I know what you mean about taking back fluffy knitting....
Granny laine how beautiful. I really hope that all your hard work is going to be treasured by the family for many generations ahead. A true work of art. I do knit myself but would never have attempted something like this. Well done you. 
I upcycled this bentwood coffee table. It was chucked out in a car park just as I was parking up and was offered to me for free.
Originally it was plain wood with chips out of the edges and colourful scribbling from felt tip pens on the top.
I painted it and covered the top in a wallpaper which I then lacquered, and now it’s back in use.
I enjoy counting cross stitch and making cross stitch cushion covers. It only requires low grade concentration and I can chat/listen to music/watch television and keep my hands busy with cross stitch.
(Beautiful shawl GrannieLaine and teddy made me howl ...)
My first attempt at rag-rugging.
