One pict...but VERY early on...sorry for the size.

Comes from a solid piece/block of wood. No electronic tools...just knives

Been awhile since I checked in here, anyone putting together anything interesting right now?

I recently went on a road trip and picked up some small pieces of driftwood along the Oregon/California coast that I want to try and turn into desk planters for succulents. Still thinking over how I want to do it, perhaps sand down a bit, I dont want to take away too much from the natural look of the wood.

Ive seen driftwood made into beautiful tealight holders. I imagine its just a matter of having the right drill attachment

Thank you so much! I have never sold any...given several away...even had some trashed by an ex...how do you put a price on somethig like this...I have made them for people...part of me feels like if I sell them, then its kind of like a job, not a hobby. Who knows, when I retire, you may very well see me at the crafts fair sitting at a little table....

Hi all!!! I'm looking for a thread to talk about knitting and trade patterns/ideas/yarn recommendations/vendors/etc. I hope this is the place!! Anybody else on ravelry?

amiyesiam · 10-03-2012, 09:46 AM

Me~ I am on Ravelry. Same user name. Video knitting podcast junkie. KAL (knit a long) junkie. Contest entering (and winning) knitter. This month I plan to knit 2 small shawls, several stuffies, and at least 1 pair of socks!

What do you like to knit? Do you like podcasts? What is your favorite yarn?

ScandalAndy · 10-03-2012, 10:31 AM

Oh wow! You're super advanced! I'm still starting out, just tried my first lace hat pattern last week. I'm in the middle of knitting hat/scarf sets for holiday gifts this year.

I just read about a KAL pattern but had no idea what it was! Thanks for the info! What are contests like? I'm not good enough for that yet, but I"d like to be. Hopefully soon.

As for favorite yarn, I have some leftover baby alpaca that I got a loooooong time ago that I keep around just to pet. I've got my eye on some knit picks Galileo merino/bamboo that looks neat, and I"m having a friend hand spin some yarn for me from a batt I got on Etsy. I'm looking for something that will show off a cable and lace pattern well. What do you like to use?

What's a stuffie?
