I think you would love a Cricut Machine. I think it’s pronounced as the insect cricket.I have one and I love how I can make personalised presents.
I have s few patterns on my list and a button placement guide, and a bodkin.
I love the interchangeable needles, find them much better than straight ones now, not as likely to poke the dog’s eyes when they insist on sitting on my knee when I’m knitting 😂.
Thanks for sharing Sally, I hope You get what you want for Christmas x❤
Some great ideas Sally will have to show the hubby.x
Good intro Sally! Love the Liberty pattern weights.
Well done on the crochet dog! Honestly once you get past learning the language so you can read patterns and charts, crochet is just as easy if not easier than knitting. I still prefer knitting for clothing items but I love crocheting blankets and lace. Circular needles > straight needles!
I used to have a cricket machine but now I have a scan and cut this has a built-in scanner so you can scan images and cut them out it also has built in patchwork designs, you can use it to cut out fabric card leather and other materials I think it’s more versatile than the cricket.
Thank-you! Serious reader is the perfect gift for someone in my life. 😊 Love all your suggestions.
I love the fabric on your blouse.
I’ve added a few of these to my list 😉
That top looks lovely on you! I have that pattern and really want to make one but can't seem to decide what fabric to use. My local shop sells mostly pattern fabric and I don't really wear a lot of patterned fabrics, I always feel like they are a bit too busy and prefer neutral pieces but seeing you in yours is making me think perhaps I should step out of my comfort zone…!
