What type of craft project are you working on now?

[-Lily-]

Hi Lily
What kind quilt you making??

It's like a narrow table cloth, I don't know the english word for it..

Oops, I don't have enough posts to post a picture yet.


Edit..My dictonairy says it's a "runner".

Yes, Lily, we call them table runners.



I just finished felting and putting together my 2nd purse (for a birthday present) and have just gotten the yarn for another for a sister of a friend. I think I'm addicted to knitting and felting purses now!!!! Oh, well, there are way worse additions I'm sure, although I do have a baby afghan & booties to crochet and a baby sweater to finish crocheting..... too many projects not enough hands or time!!!!!

Ok, thanks, I learned a new word.

I have so many things I would like to try! I even have a deal with a shop that can sell what I make, I just got it so I haven't had time to send them anything yet.

I just ordered some stuff to make cards, I've made some before and I'm looking forward to make more! It's so fun because it doesn't take to long, and you can make them exactly the way you want!

(And if I had enough posts to post pictures I could have shown you some of the cards. )


Wow, I really have to practise my english, took me forever to write this!

I'm crocheting a shawl. I'm using Homespun.

I wish I knew how to crochet, I just bought a crochet-needle or whatever they're called, and some yarn just to practice.

And welcome to CF Quinadal, I joined yesterday.

Thanks for the welcome!
If you want to learn to crochet, granny squares are pretty basic, give them a try. You can even make a big on into an afgan!

Thanks for the tip, I'll probably go to the library to see if I find any books on how to crochet.

Lily,
Try this link. It goes to the 'learn to crochet' section of a yarn company. That might help until you get to the library. Happy learning. And remember, there are plenty of crocheters around here to ask questions of if you have any.
