Crafts and BC

Most of the knitting magazines do toys/figures, although some magazines do a mixture of knitted ones and crocheted ones (I can't crochet to save my life!)  The good thing is, they often come with the wool kit as a freebie! 

Alan Dart, whose website I put up above, was commissioned by one of the magazines (I think Let's Knit) to produce patterns but this stopped about four months ago. That means that some of his patterns aren't available on his website as they were then owned by the magazine for at least a certain time! They go for silly money on ebay etc!!! 

Hi,Just popped in to show you what I have been upto.At Knit and Natter ,I rather rebelliously,do sewing!!(well,I did have tennis elbow and now prefer it...nobody seems to mind)

This is going to take me 100 years at this rate...but anyway...my gorgeous great-nephew and -niece,and their doggy.

Have also just finished this jumper.It looks a bit rough deliberately as I was inspired by watching Paddington2.All I need now is a Paddington to go into it...then it may go to the Hospital for their Christmas raffle...not sure yet....x

Wow Violetsniff that looks fab!!!!  How clever xxx

That's going to be great! I've been up in Norfolk and stitching a couple of things - one enormous piece which I will probably still be stitching on my death bed and a small thing which came with a magazine. 

Thankyou Eddiboy...and...I love it,xx

Hi Tigermum...This is what I do when having chemo love my cross stitch the time goes so quick...just about finished my latest one will take a pic. I think it’s brilliant for taking your mind off everything x

Hi harebrained1302...I just love your name!! I thought you might like to see a hare which my friend at Knit and Natter made and brought today....I love him but she doesn’t very much~as for me well I was completely harebrained and sat elegantly sewing a kitchen window onto my little birdhhouse...just like a sweet Edwardian lady...perfect symmetry etc...only to realise that I had sewn it on,perfectly,upside down!!! Doh!! So I didnt tell anyone but just went for a little cross walk around the craft Centre.....xx

Hi there Violetsniff ....thanks the name just came to me, nothing to do with the fact I love HARES!!
