Crafts - July 2021

[smallhobbit]

There was one Dare to Dabble session on Magazine bowls

I finished the knitted hat for my granddaughter, using some of the wool left from my daughter's (her auntie) hat.



I finished two more squares for my throw:

 

And began the hat from the kit the daughter gave me for my birthday last year (Harry Potter):



I also finished the cross stitch of Tenby bandstand:



I'm really pleased with it.  I'm definitely going to do the one of the harbour as well, although I may start the one of the swan and cygnets I was given as a leaving present from my job.  That's stitched on black canvas, so I may do a section and then take a break.

Finally, I decided I would start the stitched coasters that was another birthday kit I was given - this time son and daughter-in-law.



The wool provided was black, grey and white/cream and the pattern wasn't very exciting, so I've decided to do my own thing, using some of my own small balls (hence the uppermost row of pattern).

Very pretty colourful assortment! Clearly a lot of spiffing sewing ahead :)

Congratulations on finishing your granddaughter's bobble hat and the Tenby stitch!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. It's nice to put a month's crafting together.

Lots of crafting variety there, with some very cosy knitting!, especially the hat.

The coaster already looks interesting.

And of course, I love the cross stitch.

[smallhobbit]

It's definitely the year of the woolly hat!

I think the coaster is already starting to look more interesting.

Lots of good crafting. The final bandstand looks nice.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it :)

I always approve of augmenting things that come in kits! It's definitely a good bet to add colour - I look forward to seeing how it progresses.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you - I have an idea, not sure how well it will work, but there are three more coasters after this one, so I can always adjust it.

The hat for your granddaughter is gorgeous, auntie and niece can show off their new hats together:D

I do like that cross stitch and the throw will look lovely when you've finished it.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. It will be some time before the throw is completed!

I love those colours in the Tenby bandstand. Such an idyllic place, one wants to walk down that lane.
Lovely!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. I was very pleased with how it turned out.

I was just admiring the work in your icon, then I saw the real thing - the colours are lovely!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much.

All of your crafts are wonderful! Your granddaughter's hat and the Tenby bandstand cross stitch turned out beautifully. I also really like the colours that you've chosen for that first stitched coaster.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much - I'm delighted you think so. I've added more colours to the coaster now, so it's starting to look like a rainbow :)
