Crochet Show-off!

[Vex88]

Aww wow, I wish I had your skills pinky!

I love the lego box. I started a box but didnt have a lining or anything and just started to curl then I gave up :/
I also need to stop skipping stiches

[pinky]

meh i don't have the greatest skills i'm just determined!i wish i had the patience to finish my two afgans! i mean i have a super mario one i really want to finish but it takes so long i just give up and move on to something else.

[Monique_marion_may]

That lego brick is amazing! :O
Wish I could crochet

[pinky]

it's easier than you think. tho i've heard knitting is easier but i've never learned >.< i'm currently working on a 8 nub lego block. i'll need some more stiff felt to line it with tho!

here dug out some more stuff:

[Vex88]

they're great pinky.
I started one square of a pot holder yesterday and i've missed out some colour changes... not sure whether to keep going then go over the bits I missed..kinda crochet on top..or take it out and start again..haha >.<

ETA: can anyone suggest any wool that is 100% wool (or close to) and is less than £4 per 100g?? I'm looking to try out some crochet felting but cant seem to find the right yarn...
I'd also prefer wool that is variagated/different colours

And another edit.. (more ppl need to post on here,lol)

I found this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crochet-Day-Cal ... 095&sr=8-1 whilst looking for a new calender.
Has over 100 patterns. Thought it was pretty nifty

[pinky]

if i miss something i always pull it out. sometimes its a pain but it's hard to hide >.<

do you have lions brand yarn over there? i know they have 100% wool yarn (i think it's called alpine wool yarn) and it's like $6 us. dunno if that helps or not >.<

[Vex88]

Its just there's a lot of ends hanging as i'd cut them off when I changed colour on each row...started a new one,lol.

I dont think so.. was trying to find Red heart light and lofty..but I cant find it here and the US sites i've seen it on dont ship here..cant even find anything similar..may just have to use a plainish (smooth) chunky yarn

[pinky]

lions brand has international shipping! might want to check it out

[Vex88]

Thanks had a look. They have reasonable shipping ..tho a lot of their yarns are discontinued :/
Found one that'd work..tho I was hoping to get a multi coloured yarn but its only in solid colours :/ its an option though, thanks

[MrsEss]

Do you have a boyes near you? They sell 100% merino wool for about £3 per 100g ball.

[Vex88]

na, theres none in scotland

[MrsEss]

I can check for a definite price & colours, then send you some if you can't find any elsewhere??? I'm pretty sure there is one colinette that it under £4 a skein, if I find it, I'll let you know.

[Vex88]

thanks, but big softie sounds similar and its cheaper..still trying to find something with a bit of texture to it

ETA: Sarah, is the merino wool DK weight? cause theres similar ones that are cheaper online

[NaturalistDesigns]

Merino can be brought in DK weight.

I'll see what ones of mine I use that can be felted

[Vex88]

I just realised id asked about one type of yarn, then replied to other posts with this other type of yarn im looking for >.< getting myself confused..

looking for :

a variagated 100% wool yarn for felting
and
I was looking for a substitute for Red heart light and lofty..but im thinking I may just make a blanket using yarn with a plainer texture as the fluffy wool may be a bit too babyish :/

Thanks for all the suggestions so far

[NaturalistDesigns]

The only things I can think of that would be good for felting is Colinette One Zero and Point 5 as they are varigated.

ETA: Latest Creations

[Vex88]

Ooh, I really love the orangey ones with green buttons they really pop

[pinky]

so cute!

[<<Miss_Sami>>]

I like them, they are really cute. Would look fantastic in Christmassy colours as tree decorations

[dread_addiction]

I mostly make hats for my brother in law but for a while I got REALLY into amigurumi.
This is a mini version of myself

This was a pregnant friend of mine. The belly is removable!


And this was just me trying different ways to do their eyes.


They all have pipe cleaners in the arms and legs to make them posable.
