Crafts

[becomingkate]

I hope this is what you have in mind, seventhbard, for the kind of posts you want in here--
 I was curious what crafts everyone does. I know seventhbard knitrochets (is that right?) LOL.  Do any of you make candles?  I was kind of looking into it and was curious if any of you do.  I'd also know what else any of you do to create things and if you sell them or keep them for your own use, or what.  Thanks!

I knit and crochet of a sort (I'm spending a lot of time at the moment teaching myself to do more elaborate crochet patterns rather than sticking with baby blankets!). I dabble in jewelry making and also jam making (is that a craft? I know I'm not terribly good at it!). I also cross-stitch and in the past also did tapestries ( I still have some that need to be finished/started).

I am collecting 'things' for a first attempt at a scrapbooking project. In the past I've done stencilling and embossing (Still have all the stuff for those in storage).

I like to give presents to friends and family that have been made (particularly at Christmas). Most of the time, they're really simple gifts (year before last it was vanilla essence, last year most people got home made bathsalts). More something that I've put a little time and effort into rather than the gift being about having spent loads of money. This year I've made a bunch of ruffly scarves and some crocheted hats and I still have a couple of months to go.
