2022 - No Craft Spending - I WILL bust my stash and make pretty things!!!!!

I need to do lots of crafting this year - is there a new page please?

Just realised that my final total is actually 337 because I had forgotten 6 crochet angels. I don't know how I did that as they are fiddly & a bit time consuming to say the least!

I am not setting a target for next year: the aim is for as many as possible!!

Just decided to modify my signature- and it has shrunk!
It doesn't like spaces either. Progress: wish I hadn't gone there!

My stash busting will start tomorrow! I’m going to get knitting!

8 balls DK yarn in Aldi (not my favourite yarn supplier) but 2 x 4 different colours - 50g balls- £1.99. Thinking mittens & knee blankets for shoe boxes......

Hi everyone, I've not done a lot as I've been visiting ds and grandkids. It was lovely but glad to be back home. Being used to living on my own I find it exhausting staying with others. I am enjoying the peace and quiet tonight.
Ive started the second sleeve on dgd's cardigan for her birthday so just the yoke and button bands left.

I am going to try the crochet temperature blanket. Mainly because I enjoyed making the doll's blanket last year but would find a large project too much and possibly boring. With the temperature blanket I could just devote the weekends to it and keep knitting during the week. That's my idea - it might or might not work 😳. I'll look out some wool tomorrow and hopefully should have enough.

Happy crafting xx

I’ve not finished anything else since I’ve last posted. I have moved temporarily to a small island. 

Everyone has been super busy and I’m always fascinated by what you’re all up to. 

Work had been crazy and as I had to load my life into a tiny car I have a limited supply of craftiness. 

I have bought my epp quilt. And a crochet kit I was bought for Christmas as well as some other bits to get done. 

My aim is 50 for now as I am here six months with limited access to my stash. I don’t want to give myself an excuse to get more.

Hi, I'm just back from town where I bought 3 balls of wool for my temperature blanket. I'm going to use 10 colours so already have 8 colours that went well. I have also ordered a pack of crochet hooks online as I only have one very small one. This weekend I shall work out my colours and temperature chart. I might have to buy more wool for some of the most common temperatures.  My friend is also going to knit a temperature blanket - will be interesting to see the differences.

Happy crafting xx

I used many of your excellent craft projects in a collage for the end-of-year forum blog. I also used the Cross Stitch and Craft Cafe 2022 thread. There were too many photos to include all of them - wish I could have.

love the collage!

Do we know if there's a new thread or are we just sticking to this one?
