Open the jar and take out a couple of pieces . . see how they feel. If they are dull around the edges (so that you couldn't cut yourself) they are ready. Just be careful!

I just did a Mona Lisa paint by numbers with weird neon colors.

Oh, the irony. :)

Anyone love to make jewelry or want to try their hand at it?

Here's a link to a project I'm wrangling on the PenPal thread:

If interested, please sign up on the Penpal thread.

Been awhile since I checked in here, anyone putting together anything interesting right now?

I recently went on a road trip and picked up some small pieces of driftwood along the Oregon/California coast that I want to try and turn into desk planters for succulents. Still thinking over how I want to do it, perhaps sand down a bit, I dont want to take away too much from the natural look of the wood.

Ive seen driftwood made into beautiful tealight holders. I imagine its just a matter of having the right drill attachment :)

I'm going to be taking a knitting class starting Wednesday. I already crochet. These are great hobbies to have in the long dark nights of winter!

Good morning fellow crafters... my bff Bianca and I have an etsy account and would love to share w you all.. ideas are totally welcomed..

I do have a question to the yarn folks, does anyone have a simple pattern for dog sweaters to knit or chrochet?

Knitting!
 

Hi all!!! I'm looking for a thread to talk about knitting and trade patterns/ideas/yarn recommendations/vendors/etc. I hope this is the place!! Anybody else on ravelry?

Oh wow! You're super advanced! I'm still starting out, just tried my first lace hat pattern last week. I'm in the middle of knitting hat/scarf sets for holiday gifts this year.

I just read about a KAL pattern but had no idea what it was! Thanks for the info! What are contests like? I'm not good enough for that yet, but I"d like to be. Hopefully soon. :)

As for favorite yarn, I have some leftover baby alpaca that I got a loooooong time ago that I keep around just to pet. I've got my eye on some knit picks Galileo merino/bamboo that looks neat, and I"m having a friend hand spin some yarn for me from a batt I got on Etsy. I'm looking for something that will show off a cable and lace pattern well. What do you like to use?

What's a stuffie?

I just joined! What a great site. Even though I am supposed to be spending less time away from my school books, handwork is so easy to do while I am reading. :)

I am softlanding on ravelry.
