So, Hand Made was a whole load of classes on everything crafty. The idea of a craft class terrifies me and true to my terror, as soon as I got into my class on making socks I immeadiatley forgot how to cast on and then dropped all my stitches. After that disaster, I managed to recover myself and to make a miniature sock (see below). In theory I can do all the sock making stuff now. The reason I like Georgie so much is that as soon as she got into her making cushion covers class she broke the needle on the sewing machine! (And then also recovered herself and made some sweet as cushions.)
I also did a course on how to make a Fraisier - a french cake with layers of sponge, fruit, cream and then piped with meringue. All excellent life skills...
Rose, I love your mini sock! Are you going to make it into a Christmas decoration or do something else crafty with it? I am not sure I could ever make socks, I am sure I would get one done and then give up. I am jealous of your craft classes.... I couldn't go to the last Creative Fibre Guild meeting as we were in Wanganui, so I hope they don't think I have abandoned them.
ReplyDeleteA girl in my Antenatal Pilates class is a crocheter!!! And she also does not have a job.... so I am hoping she will be my friend...and teach me to crochet.
Mike has just delivered me a bucket of Seville Oranges. 20 trees have just arrived for planting but some had oranges on them already - I think he is hoping for marmalade.
