Hey everyone! Trying to revive the sharing of all things handmade, since the Knitting/Crochet and Sewing threads are pretty much dead, so I wanted to start a thread that is dedicated to any and all crafts! I know we've got a lot of crafty people on this forum, so if you are a fan of the handmade, share your goods here! This includes knitting/crochet, sewing, embroidery, jewelry, soap, clothing, carving, and so on. So stop in, have a cuppa, and share what you've been making recently! And if you need advice, maybe you can find someone here who can help!

I'll start us off with two projects I've finished recently. I've been working on Christmas presents, so I have a knit neck scarf for one of my friends in a wool/bamboo blend as well as an owl puff that is a test run of some catnip cat toys I want to make. One of my kitties, Hobbes, seems to enjoy it ok without the catnip, so I'm sure he and the rest of the kitties I'm planning on making things for will enjoy the toy. I think if I have time, I may make a few extras and donate them to a local shelter and put bells in them if they don't want catnip toys.







Sorry for the phone pics, but I can't find my camera cable, so these will have to do for now.

I really like the look of that scarf.  It is not too bulky, but fills the top of the coat gap nicely.  Though since I don't wear hats I usually go for big wrapped around my whole head scarves.  But that one looks like it would be nice for autumn days and even for under a big wrapping scarf on very cold days.

Yeah, the reason I made this one for my friend is because it looks like something that could be a cozy accessory that she could wear in the office when it's cold and is not too bulky to wear under a scarf. Also it's a super easy knit and if you know how to knit, I highly recommend it!

Papersatan:
Alas, I am not a knitter.  I technically know how, but I never gained the proficiency to do it with any speed.  I can crochet though, and sew.  It seems like a similar style could be sewn pretty easily.  I might attempt that.

Right now I need to do some embroidery.  I decided to make a little thing for a friend for Christmas, but I am having trouble deciding what to do.  I wanted something witty, and irreverent.  I came up with a great idea, but not for her.  I need to think of a thing she would actually put on her wall.

Browse etsy for inspiration if you haven't already. So much fun, witty embroidery. I lurves it. Also I need to finish my "Hufflepuff don't give a shit" embroidery already. It's been on hiatus since spring. (That's what I get for deciding to make the entire background yellow.)

Also here's another recently completed project! The Pedestrian Crossing Cowl. (That links to the PDF. Hooray for free patterns!)



It's wool, but it's a superwash merino, so not only is it super soft, it's also machine washable! Huzzah! (Should be easier for the recipient to take care of, since she's 18 and probably doesn't know much about handwashing clothing yet.)
