Don't know if this will help anyone but i needed some toy stuffing and bought 2 pillows from MrT for £5- loads of stuffing and the cotton covers have made great bags for hm bread and laundry.

It's beautiful!!

I've now nearly finished my granny square dolls blanket. I undid a lot of it as I wasn't happy with the joining, but it's much better now. How do I do a nice border round it??

its lovely artydoll.

well, my latest project did not go according to plan. i did the bunny head but the blanket i need to attach it to is real crocheting. and did not look right at all so i kind of gave up half way through and attempted to 'felt' it. that went ok so now i need to actually crochet a large square or I might do 4 granny squares and join them together before felting! i started another teddy bear yesterday so will finish that tonight and start on the square!!! I will have to have a look on youtube I think.

Lovely

I have been inspired by your granny square cushion cover artydoll - I am now trying to make something similar as my first proper project.

Claireac......many thanks I just crochet around the whole square a few times ,then maybe do a little picot edging .maybe look at attic 24,s blog

http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/granny-b.html

.I think she shows you on there.


nuttybabe......thanks for your comments,I think your teddies are great ,I,m still waiting for my set of new hooks to arrive,[coming from Hong Kong] so I can make some,I already have a nice pattern.


The Moog....... thanks ,So nice to think someone actually likes my cushion covers,my daughter thinks they are" minging" lol.

My latest cushion which "bred" in the night.


I edged it following attic24,s instructions,many thanks to her.



See they are breeding,lol.

Just had my new hooks ,they came from Hong Kong so took a while,I only ever owned 1 4mm hook ,so maybe I will be able to make some little teddies without the stuffing poking through my stitches.
