For this weeks Top 10 In Craft, It’s all about the amazing craft table ideas to inspire you to create your own.
An inspiring place to create is perhaps seen as a luxury but it doesn’t have to be.
There are some fabulous solutions to storing craft supplies.
I’ve found some of the most amazing and inspiring craft table setups for you to feast your eyes on.
But first, a crafting update from me…
On My Needles
I have nearly finished my second pair of socks using the toe up method. There are about 10 rows left for the cuffs and then I can bind off. These will be a Christmas present for someone special.
The fixed circular needles I bought in Amsterdam are not easy to work with. The join between the metal tips and cable is not smooth at all.
When knitting the swatch for my next pair of socks, the yarn kept snagging. It was very frustrating. I am reluctant to knit the socks now on these needles as I don’t need the extra hassle 😞 I’m still deciding what to do.
As Sweater Weather Approaches…
As October is nearly here; you may be thinking about knitting a sweater for the colder months.
Whenever I think of knitted sweaters, I am reminded of the time I knitted a mohair sweater with my Nan, when I was in my early 20s.
Nan knitted the front and I knitted the back. We soon realized we had completely different tensions 🙂 The color was a beautiful teal green and I wore that sweater for many, many years.
Before I started traveling with my family I donated it to a local Opportunity Shop. I hope someone else now loves wearing it too.
If you’ve got a few sweater projects in mind… Knitpicks have 10% off when buying 10 or more balls of selected wool at the moment.
Have a look at all this fantastic yarn that you didn’t know you needed 🙂
