Any other crafters?

[estrellas]

I'm curious if anyone else is into crafts of some sort - I'm a knitter and crocheter (the former more than the latter) and I'm looking forward to starting to knit up some new stuff for the new spawn.

I'm afraid to start any projects so early in the pregnancy because that would be a nightmare to have that laying around if something happened but I want to make this at some point

I make wreaths. I usually make 1-2 a month but I haven't started on my one this month yet. I'm making a Valentine's Day wreath. I made one last year and I loved it but I think I'm going to make a pink one this year.

ETA: UGH how do you post pictures?

[txshep]

Me! I do a little bit of everything... Home DIY projects, sewing, cross stitch, photography, fine arts, etc.

I refuse to do anything baby-related until second tri, and it's nearly killing me. I want to make almost everything I see on Pinterest!

I dabble in lots of crafts. Just made a quilt for my SIL's baby shower - due in Feb. I have plans to make two more quilts for my cousins that are due in May. I've made wreaths for the front door, and various other decor stuff. I do a lot of graphic design stuff for friends (mostly b-day invites, baby shower etc - though right now I'm working on my friend's wedding invites which I'm having a lot of fun with).

I'm a knitter, and I love complicated lace patterns. I also do home DIY things... Need to refinish a rocking chair I just got for the nursury.

I dabble in a lot. Mostly into sewing these days. I know how to knit kinda-- I don't know how to add or drop stitches and so I only make scarves that are straight lines.

I plan to sew a lot for this LO but not until I know the sex.

[dorkymama]

Yuppers. I knit and crochet!

I own a sewing machine and have completed about 1/4 of a tee-shirt quilt but I haven't touched it in a couple of years. I'm pretty shitty at using that thing...

I'm in the process of crocheting a giant granny square rainbow blanket. Originally it was going to be for me, but I think it'd be a great baby blanket instead! I'm also in the middle of crocheting slippers, and knitting a blanket and a hat (the latter of which I may frog).

Current status of granny square blanket...

Moi. I love scrapbooking, although I am SO BEHIND on my son's book. Like, I think I'm just past his birth. I have no idea how I'm going to catch up.

I just started teaching myself crochet. I have yarn that should be easier to work with coming today or tomorrow, and then I'm going to go after it hard. If anyone has a fave youtube series they want to shoot my way to help me learn, I'd appreciate it!

Just learning how to knit!!! Started a scarf over winter break and then life happened. Going to try to get back into it soon.

I also enjoy sewing. I am a traveling teacher in my building and needed a way to store my calculators so I sewed a "saddle" for my cart that stores calculators on either side. Will post a pic tomorrow.

 mrsemutavi -- You should check out VeryPinkKnits.com & KnittingHelp.com for knitting stuff.

ugotstarbucked -- I'm going to be tackling a Jaali in the spring. Have you seen that pattern?

To the rest of you: I am jealous of your crafty-ness. Knit/crochet is basically all I do!

For those of us waiting til 2nd tri to knit/do projects... I'm tempted to propose some kind of KAL/CAL!

[el1zabeth]

I make cakes. I am obsessed with decorating cakes. I. CAN'T STOP. (send frosting!)

[missdaisy925]

I crochet, but haven't in a while.

I just hosted a baby shower for a close friend of mine this past Sunday and made the Diaper cake by hand, it was F%$King awesome, the Favor bags, which were easy but pretty crafty, the cupcakes and a couple of things I painted for the mother that are the Baby's name etc. I used to like to paint when I was younger but got out of it as I got older. I think the baby shower has brought me back to it!

pineapplesmoothie - Oooh, there's a Due in Sept 15 board on Ravelry? I'm most definitely joining.

My name on Ravelry is Jecka.

[tiffanyjensen]

@chad52785 that is so cute, if you make it please let me know how difficult it is!

dorkymama love the colors of your blanket!!

I am an absolute beginner at knitting, I just started on my first project. I was hoping to make some sort of outfit for DS for his first birthday (next month) but haven't found anything that looks do-able.

Also I'm getting back into sewing (was never good at it) but used my first pattern to sew a nightgown for DD and almost finished.

Is anyone else planning on sewing cloth diapers? I ordered all the supplies yesterday to make 2-3 and see how it goes.

[dorkymama]

tiffanyjensen - If you can only knit flat, try this hat! It's super easy and really cute on babies.

[shanty]

I love all things crafty & diy! I recently tiled our kitchen & mudroom floor & our backsplash, that was fun! I'm also finishing up laying wood floors in our game room & about to tackle both of our kids rooms. I also love to revamp furniture & found a line of safe to use while pregnant paints/waxes so I'm excited to give those a try. I'm a pinterest junkie

[andtheheartbreakers]

I'm a huge crafter! I love to sew/knit/crochet. I just finished quilting a baby blanket for a friend, and I'm going to make some receiving blankets and burp cloths as well! I'm also crocheting her a chevron granny square carseat blanket that is turning out pretty damn cute so far!

I also have a Cricut and make crafts for anything and everything.

Oh! And I build furniture! I built a coffee table and end tables. I told my husband last summer that I wanted to build a coffee table and he laughed at me because I've never built anything before....But I nailed it!

[southernpeach89]

andtheheartbreakers -That table is beautiful!!

[estrellas]

I'm on Rav as bastling... added a couple of you.

Is anyone knitting on a circle loom? I made two baby hats for my friend's newborn twins and it only took me about 30 minutes each.

Has your friend tried them? I made a few but they looked too small for baby heads!
I love knitting on the circle looms-- It feels like cheating to me though.

[jujubee]

I only wish I was more crafty. I used to make beaded jewelry but I lost interest and it's a PITA to get everything out and then put away before my 2 year old finds a bead and chokes on it.

It most definitely was a pun!! Technically I screwed it, but that just sounded wrong....
And thanks!!

I crochet and am planning to teach myself to knit sometime soon. I occasionally sew, and my newest hobby is glassblowing!
