on a crafting kick!

[dungeonbunnies]

My fiance crochets, I like to pretend I do. Lol

 

[CosmosMomma]

Lol yay for your fiance! I'm thinking of crocheting Cosmo a bed, and some socks for me lol. I have all this yarn laying around and nothing to do with it.

Only thing I'm making atm is a giant granny square/stash buster.

 

[dungeonbunnies]

He crochets, cross stitches, makes chainmail, and there was something else that I can't think of off of the top of my melon. He also makes playing card "proxies"

I sew, crochet, bake, chainmail, paint, and make rough sculptures from modeling clay.

 

[dungeonbunnies]

And make stuff from tape, obviously

 

[CosmosMomma]

I wanna learn how to sew, but I can never get the hang of it. Sewing machines are a breeze but hand sewing? Nada.

I love to crochet though. Right now I'm working on these:

Those look TOASTY!!! I hand sew all of the bunnies, my sewing machine is still at my dad's, I simply don't the room for it. It's one of those 1950 cabinet machines.

 

[CosmosMomma]

I ALMOST had a brother tabletop machine for free. Someone posted it in the craigslist free section, and when I emailed about it, it had already been picked up -.- I was so p*ssed.

I tried hand sewing before when I tried to make a fifi lapin doll, but I don't know how to anchor the first stitch lol.

 

[dungeonbunnies]

I double knot. Lol

 

[CosmosMomma]

Lol sounds like I'm gonna have to try hand sewing again.

This is the crochet project i'm working on. Excuse the huge size lol.

It's going to be a scarf. Worked in Tunisian simple stitch.

 

[dungeonbunnies]

I loooooove scarves!

 

[CosmosMomma]

I do too! The problem with Tunisian Crochet is it CURLS like crazy. When I finish I have to put an edging on it so it'll stay flat lol.

Right now I have about 10 inches out of 60, done. 50 more to go, yayy lol. D:

 

[dungeonbunnies]

I would die of impatience

 

[dungeonbunnies]

bwahaha! I was just given a mini sewing machine, and bought a large box stuffed full of fleece!! Wahoo!

 

[CosmosMomma]

jealous! You should make me a minion to look like cosmo c:

 

[KaliQ]

Yay crochet! Lol. I learned in junior high and picked it up again in college. Every person I've known (except for a former boss) since then who has had a baby has received a blanket or something crocheted. I have a few projects I'm working on right now. Making hooded blankets with bear ears for my sister-in-law's twins due in February and an 8 bit Yoshi blanket. Also have a huge king size cross blanket that was started in '05 and is currently waiting on more yarn and other projects to be finished.

 

[CosmosMomma]

Lmfao Kali you sound like me! I have a million projects started right now.

Lets see: Giant Granny Square Blanket, Purse/Bag, Knee high socks, Tunisian scarf, hat for the kid I babysit.

Lawd.

 

[dungeonbunnies]

KaliQ - oh lordy! You have so much more patience than I do! I wanted to learn to crochet my plushies, but no.... not happening!

The sewing I can do though, it only takes me a few hours.

Cosmosmomma - I'll trade you a scarf for a minion!

 

[CosmosMomma]

Done! I'll start on it as soon as I finish this purse (which by the way is hurting my hands. 5 strands of yarn and a K hook, 21 sc across for 25 rows).

 

[dungeonbunnies]

I'll PM the address to send reference photos to.

Mini-Cosmo!!
