Craft Corner

Re: Craft Corner

Hey there @saturnzoon and shout-out to @CheerBear and @outlander 

 

I'm sorry but I'm not really confident with random colours. I usually pick a theme of colours prior to starting projects. If you search 'craft colour wheel' on YouTube, they'll show you how to mix and match colours.

 

It's a big project Saturn. How long did it take you to create what we can see?

Re: Craft Corner

Hey @outlander 🖐

Re: Craft Corner

Are you alright?

Re: Craft Corner

Big afternoon/evening for me @outlander and it's taking a bit to settle I think. Plus I moved the cats from the room they've been staying in to the room I'm sleeping in because I missed cuddling them and they've gone completely feral. They need some time to settle tonight too I think 😉 Thanks for asking ❤

I finished putting all my squares together today finally. I can work on the border now 🙂

Re: Craft Corner

Oh dear @CheerBear feral but cute hey. As long as they arent climbing up curtains!
That is great. Im sure its looking good as always! I finished my blanket tonight. I decided against the 5th yarncake. Im not sure on a border though. I kinda like it as it is.
What sort of border are you thinking for yours?

Re: Craft Corner

One is doing exactly that @outlander 😆 We don't have curtains in our house and this one (little Rocket) seems to think the ones here are the best play equipment ever!

Ooh I am looking forward to seeing yours! If you like it as is, is it worth thinking about a simple crab stitch edge? They don't look border-ish but seem to add a nice finish (I think).

I'm going to keep doing granny stitch for the border but with a few colours I've used in the blanket. At least that's what I've settled on for now. I keep going back to Pinterest and finding too many I like though!

I took a pic of it this morning before I finished. I'll add it below. Can t wait to have it all done!

Re: Craft Corner

I've given up smoking again! :face_with_rolling_eyes: So the ole hormones and snail paced metabolism are giving me curry. I had no ciggies but didn't change anything else and? put on a kilo!!!!! I was so tired tonight I fell asleep on the lounge and went to bed. 2 hours later I'm wide awake. Go figure @outlander.

Hey there @CheerBear!

You too Mrs F! @Faith-and-Hope 

Saying G'Day to you as well @Sans911 

Re: Craft Corner

Hey @Hope4me!

Well done with the smoking but sorry about the curry- that's annoying.

It seems a few of us are around tonight and struggling to sleep.

Re: Craft Corner

Naughty rocket cat! As long as she stays away from your blanket and yarn cause thats fun to untangle (NOT) lol.
Looking forward to seeing your pic.
Mm im not sure if even the crab stitch would work. Ill take a pic tomorrow in the sun and upload it. Im thinking ill save this one and eventually make some other things then donate them to a charity. Pop wants a double size blanket which i have the yarn for but id like to make some other things first like cushion covers @CheerBear
