There's no art or craft section (and there totally should be, *ahem*), so here's a thread of things I make.

I've made 4 scarves in the past 7 days. I have a long list of people that I am making them for, so I have been using this to keep busy. Usually I make them and have obsessive compulsive moments and take them apart, but I'm trying to train myself not to. Here's what I made:

It's dark and light purple if you can't tell. I don't know if I got the fringe right on the ends.

This one is for a little girl, so it only took me like 2 hours to make. The yarn color is "baby camo", which I found funny.

This is an adult version of the little girl's.

This one looks really 80s and hideous, but in person it's cute. I made this one for myself for my Halloween weekend. It's really skinny and really long.

You're on. Paging Viv!

I wear scarves a lot. In the winter I always do, and I have some lighter material ones I will wear in the fall and spring.

I'll see what I can do!

That looks like a lot of work, I wish I had more patience for things like knitting and crochet, every one seems to make so many cool things with them!

I don't think I could ever make a blanket (I have like 5 started that I never completed) because of how long it would take. I generally can get a scarf done in a few days or less, depending on how much time I have and how fancy it is.

A few days I can handle! I have to admit though I hate sewing, I do like the I can bang out a whole dress in like 3 days. I'm all about instant gratification!

I have a friend that refuses to use a sewing machine and does everything by hand. I think she's insane. She's made loads of stuff too, including curtains, which took forever!

Damn. I did that for a while when I was afraid of using a sewing machine, but would rather eat glass than go back to that! I know a few people who do it that way though, and it tends to look great

I never have been great at sewing by hand. My friend's stuff always turns out fabulous, I just do not have the patience to at all.

I made a really cool bracelet but I have no camera. Just pretend I posted a photo and tell me how great it is.

I'm no where near as crafty as you gals, but I do have some items I've made via screenprinting and amatuer sewing. I'll have to take pics and post them later. In the meantime, here's my friend's link to the woolies she's been making: http://www.meghunt.com/etc/woolies/ I love the one named Floyd. :)

You should post your stuff! Vivien is the pro here, I am definitely an amateur.

Those woolies are awesome. I haven't done a felted project in a long time.

Those woolies rock! You should start a craft thread and post your stuff too!
