The rug is beautiful a real heirloom piece 🙂 

I often see lovely patterns for knitted jumpers but just dont get on with knitting , maybe i can swap a lap quilt for a jumper with someone:^O

Am going to make a cup of tea...too cold!!!

[mandymoosie]

Welsh oh yeah I see what you mean now.

I wouldn't have a clue how to do that with crochet ?:|

Huggles idea sounds good though, or just experiment with it 🙂

Yes that rug is breathtakingly beautiful, what a wonderful thing to make, it can be kept in the family for years and years 😄

Dazy I'm having a cup of tea right this minute, can't beat it 😄

[captainbovine]

wow! that rug is awesome, wish I could do that.

I just love Maggies houses at the moment, do you work from a pattern Maggie?

at the moment, I'm making a ......

job of keeping me eyes open:_|

Mandymoosie, I will put some pictures of my glass fusing on here, but at the moment my

computer and camera are involved in a long-standing disagreement and will not do what's necessary!

I've just been cutting glass all afternoon, didn't cut myself.  When I'd finished, I cut myself on the armchair.  Don't ask!  It wasn't an escaped shard of glass either, well unless the shard can jump out of the room and go round corners LOL!

[captainbovine]

oooh can't wait to see your glass makes, fishy:-)

I always fancied making a stained glass panel myself.

My friend designed the house pattern CB.:-)

Mandy, if there is something I can help with just let me know. 🙂

Welshy, you need to work out your gauge to alter size of a pattern.

Crochet a gauge square so that you can work out how many stitches to 4" or 10cm both across and down.

So if it was 20 stitches to 4" and you need your garment to be 16", you would do 4 x 20 = 80 stitches.

That's how it works in knitting so I'm pretty sure it will transfer to crochet.

I shall be making a birthday card for grandson's 4th birthday and more crochet cat blankets

[ilove2patch]

I have a list to work through! lol

There's a website called "Attic 24" - it's run by a lovely lady who crochets the most beautiful things in the most wonderful colours.  She's a mum with young children and often posts pictures of her beautiful home and surroundings which is full of colour and love.

Her crochet instructions are really easy to understand, so easy that even I have mananged to crochet more than a meant-to-be-granny-square that turns into a tube-like thingy!

Just looking at this lady's website cheers me up on a dull day!

I am doing a glass fusing class at the moment and I am totally addicted!  I'm making little glass things whenever I get the chance - little bits of jewellery and miniature scenes, animals and flowers.  Thing is, if it goes wrong, nobody knows as I can just say it's abstract!

WOW this lady is truly amazing, you are right fishy it would cheer any dull day up in more ways than one!  I just love the easter wreath.

[captainbovine]

oh my word fishy! that site is awesome, I wish I could crochet like that, I can crochet but not very well.

I need a kick up the bum today, no crafting done, the day had just flown.:-(

[welshtoff]

Ahhhh!  Thank you for that Learning 🙂  Will try it out this evening, busy day ahead, shopping (for more wool) etc. 🙂

[hightara]

i got some beautiful patterns of annies attic........ i made her hanging bird 🙂

love the rug........:O

[welshtoff]

Well, I went to the Range today, and got totally carried away in there! Loads of wool, and even bought some knitting needles :^O  I have some wool that I find impossible to crochet with, as I can't find the loops in it, so will knit a little cardigan instead 🙂

I think I am turning into my Grandma, not my Mum :^O

[captainbovine]

:^O I love that store welshy!

last time I went in there, was when I had my foot in plaster, my friend couldn't wait to push me around the store in their wheelchair:^O she was like a lunatic, I was in fear of my life:^O

[welshtoff]

:^O CB.  You can really get carried away in there so easily with all the different craft stuff!  Gonna start on your Teddy's little top this evening 🙂

[captainbovine]
