July 2020 Chatter

Oh very helpful! That’s a perfect place to start, thanks @TexasPurl! The grand is a boy and doesn’t think too much of pink - purple - maybe. Anyone else have favorites?

I think blues, browns, and orange go with green.

Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle Crochet! What a fun project! I used #10 thread. It measures 8" x 8", 1/2" thick & is very dense. Perfect tea pot trivet. It even looks kinda cool on the back. :fk:

Whoa - that is really cool!

It is amazing. I agree the back is almost as impressive as the front.

Oh yeah and another project with a different technique successfully completed! What a fun one.

I am not a very good seamstress, but I thought I would try my hand at a Japanese Knot Bag. All went well until I got to the end and it was time to sew the armholes. Grrrr. Are there any seamstresses out here who might have thoughts? Maybe I should sew the armholes and end up at the bottom of the bag. Hmmmm

Very nice and awesome results with that join! I must remember to try it!

Very nice! Loving the colors!

I love your color choices! It’s beautiful!!

@Kathy7661 I know you’re one of those seamstresses. Any ideas?

Sorry to hear about your fall! Hope the healing process is quick!

Wow, this looks fun! I’ve never seen or heard of this before! Very cool!

So let’s see. I’ve got dark red, pink (?), maybe purple, charcoal grey, coffee brown, cream, a second shade of green, blue and orange.

I’m going to enter that into the brain and let it percolate overnight. I’ll keep you posted as to what comes out. I think we’ll like it, but know he’ll love it so thanks for the input @TexasPurl, @Char & @DJM!

Gorgeous and beautiful!
A perfect gift.

Oh my! Hope the injury from your fall heals quickly, well, and completely!
Meanwhile… A pickle a day keeps the doctor away…!
:wink:

I look forward to seeing your choices!

lol Ok - knot bag take two…

find pretty matching fabric :white_check_mark:

Cut, pin and sew, this time starting at the handles. :white_check_mark:

ummmm. Here is where I have my first problem. Oops - I cant turn it inside out!!!

After laughing so hard I could cry, I try taking out the inner circle seem to see if I can get it through. Nope - not that way.

Ok - here’s how determined I am to make it from the handles - cut it in half and turn each half right side out. :white_check_mark:

ummmm - wait a minute here … now what?

DESIGN ELEMENT!

Wait - I planned it this way all along. Lol
