Friendship bracelets

 

My daughter got this weaving wheel for her birthday so we have been making friendship bracelets. The instructions were a bit complicated so I had to get my husband to help me with the first one which was the flower power design you can see further down the page, but once I got the hang of it, it's easy peasy! Thank goodness as the age range on the packaging said from 6 years+

 

 

So this shows the threads set up on the wheel the design is called the candy cane.

 

 

 



 

This shows the friendship bracelet coming out of the underside of the wheel

 

 

And this is a small child sized friendship bracelet in a flower power design, our first attempt at weaving! The kit comes with about 4 different designs and some thread, but once the thread runs out im going to replace it with embroidery thread and we can choose colours that we love. you can adjust the length of the threads to make adult sized bracelets and add any beads as well so endless possibilities!

Knitting Season

Thanks to YouTube and a little patience I have been learning how to knit a little.

So here is last nights attempt....little Ted with his new sparkly jumper.

I am also knitting what I think might be a snood. It is being knitted with chunky wool and large sticks, I did not realise how expensive wool can be. So far the snood has cost me about £20 and its only 3/4's finished. So I think im going to stick to little projects and get all of the dollies in the girls toy cupboard kitted out with my attempts at knitting!

After a year out from Blogging I have finally come to the conclusion that its good to Blog about the things I have been making. So I return!

Things have been very busy this last year, I got married! I have taken on an allotment in the village, my oldest daughter has started school and I also have a part time job. Also I have been quietly crafting away!

So I hope you are all pleased that i'm back and I hope to show you some interesting things.
