Are you Crafty ??

Love the quilt, lucky stig.

My most recent crafting was some knitted Christmas decorations for eldest granddaughter who is in the navy and deployed until March 22.

Finally finished my one 

ooops it's sideways 

It's covering the ugly brown sofa 
Mollycat has already decided that it is the comfiest place to curl up

Yesterday, while in the roof collecting the Christmas decs, I found all the wool which was part of a tapestry I bought for Mrs Growster many years ago, and we had given up for lost! The original tapestry on a home made - ahem - frame is still half-finished, and I wanted to do a Clint Eastwood and finish it!

The trouble is, that I've bought her a new tapestry for the big day, so can't tell her the good news until afterwards!

My new project is refurbishing an electric guitar, plus three other ones, but as the kit is a present, I can't start until Christmas Day...

It wouldn't let me ad both pics so another one here

That's lovely mum 

I got a crochet pattern for a three-quarter length sleeved cardigan and the wool to go with it, but am afraid my crochet days are over and there's no way I can manage it. Is it possible to alter the pattern so I can knit it instead?

I used to crochet those fine cotton mats and also mats where you made individual motifs then joined them together but, sadly, I can't do it now. I managed to find a free cardigan pattern on-line so am now hand knitting it. I used to knit Aran, Fair Isle and other intricate patterns but am now opting for the easier version. It does have a pattern with different coloured wools but I'm just doing stripes.
