Its a lovley pattern to make and real fun but sadly pretty useless on actual quilts becasue it ahs sticky out bits. actually its an example of combining homework with desprate present hunting:D

Thanks:D

Yay!! Nice looking bookcover Night!!

I know I promised photos, so here goes:

This is my grannysquare afghan, made from yarn remnants. I had washed it after stiching it together, and dried it on an old blanket, and naturally my cat decided to sleep on it.

That's very nice, Piglet! I have one that my grandmother made for me that looks very similar. Will you enter that in a 4-H competition?

I already did. :D I got a purple, although I feel I didn't quite deserve it. ;) But I suppose it was the best in my age group.

Well, I'm no expert on knitting but from the picture, it looks like you did a wonderful job! I have no doubt you certainly did deserve the ribbon. :nod:

I think that's gorgeous, Piglet.:thumbs_up

I have been an Origami freak since my tender years. The interest got a further boost when my daughter became interested. Anybody else out there? I enclose a picture of a couple of examples I just happened to have sitting in my window.

I find it very relaxing, and have but one problem with it: To find suitable paper. If anybody could help me out there, I would be most grateful.

I had this lesson when I was a kid, and yes it's a very interesting folding-paper activities. I only managed to make simple ones though, like bird or house.

What a LUCKY cat!

It is really wonderful, RJ! It's a pity, I know not how to knit. I guess, it must be fun. My grandmother had promissed me to teach me knitting but then she passed away. I miss her and her promises too.

You will all be pleased to know that Granny Squares are crocheted. I doubt it is possible to knit them. :lol:

Thank you all for your wonderful comments! :D Yes, my cat is indeed lucky. For some strange reason, he seems to get in a lot of pictures! :lol: But he can be quite cute when he is sleeping. Right now he is curled up on a sofa he likes.

That is lovely, Piglet!! You cat is adorable as well. I miss mine :bawling:

Since we are settled here I have finally dug out my old projects.

Here is the best knitting project I have ever done. It was a lot of fun!

I'll try to get pics of my cloak, and a skirt I just did. The skirt is a black one that I made a few years ago and grew tired of...so yesterday I cut six long slits in the bottom and sewed different peices of material in. It's all swirly and random and colorful now :p

Wow, it seems like that, we have lots of talented craftswoman over here in the forum. :)

I just finished a cardigan for my mom and thought I'd post pics to share.
