One of my friend just finished another crafting project. This time she has sewed a toiletry bag out of an old dress. She added a blue “rose” to make it look more unique.
I love this kind of recycling where you use old stuff to make new and usable things. Check out this post I wrote about RecycleCindy and the way she uses old plastic bags to craft stuff.

Here is a picture of the toiletry bag:

I have been thinking about making a forum for this blog where crafting people can discuss, you guessed it, crafting. A forum could make this site more interactive and more attractive for my readers.

A service where you can create a forum is Free-Forum.com. They offer a lot of different forum options and the best is that you get a free forum. You get 1GB free space for files and you can have unlimited members and posts.
Sounds like a good idea if I decide to go through with my forum plans.

Here is another wash cloth that a friend of mine crocheted last week. I really like the combination of the blue and green colors, and the small triangle in the middle. She used cotton yarn to me the cloth so it wont shrink when it is used.
I need to make myself a few of these too, but blogging is keeping me away from crafting.

And here is a picture of the blue (and green) crocheted wash cloth:

One of my friends needed a some kind of protection for her flute. She decided to crochet a bag for the flute because it is easy and cheap, and it gives the flute a very personal look.
I love the principle of being somewhat self helped. If I should need something like a cooking stick it is so nice to be able to make it yourself instead of having to go to a supermarket buying cooking ware that everyone else has.
My goal is to learn more skills that can help me being self helped. Anyone know any good websites where they learn such skills?

Anyway, here is a picture of the flute bag and flute:

Five days ago I posted a picture of a ragg sock that I just had started to knit. Yesterday I finished one of the socks (takes a bit time for me to finish a knitting project because I am distracted by so much else), but it turns out my brain did not remember my old sock pattern and the sock turned out to be a bit too small for me. Yeah, I know I should have measured if the sock would fit me while I was knitting, but I was so sure I knew how many rounds I had to knit.
So I’m gonna give away the socks to a friend that has smaller feet. She was happy to get new socks so they are not wasted 🙂
Here is a picture of one of the socks. Just started on the other one.

One of my friends in the collective I live in is crafting a lot of different stuff. Here is a picture of a “doll neck” (not sure if it is called this in English) she has knitted for her kids dolls. Knitting such doll clothes is very easy, cheap and the kids love it. It is also a great way to use leftover yarn as the doll clothes doesn’t have to look perfect.
Later on I will post more stuff that she has crafted.

Winter is getting closer and the air definitely has an autumn feel to it. It is about high time that I start getting ready for the colder seasons.
Today I started on some warm, black socks, or they are black so far. Who knows what kind of colors I will include later on (I love knitting without a strict pattern).

Here is a picture of how much I have knitted on the socks. The little blue spot on the socks is some leftover yarn I found on the floor. True recycling in practice 🙂
