ALL NEW, REIMAGINED Harry Potter Craftalong - Spring 2024

You guys have made so many nice projects since my last post! Well done everyone!

I have been in a slump, but Im thinking Im getting out of it, with an organization-project that I have started! Now I want to craft again!
But I have actually done some crafting while in the slump. I have done some knitting and crocheting (basic socks is an easy project, and African Flower was very nice to work on).

Looking forward to participate more active from now on! :smiley:

Team: Whitch Weekly
Brief Description: I have really been enjoying learning how to crochet. It is so relaxing. It is hard to stop once I get started though… I just keep thinking one more row…or I really want to see the next color change… I decided to learn the linen/moss sticht and made a throw for my living room. It a bit wonky, definetly got my counts off here and there but I love it.

Oooh, it looks so snuggly! You must be so proud to finish a big project like that. I don’t see any wonkiness, but to me, wonky = homemade and full of love. (Much better than perfect and store-bought.)

Brief Description: I am in a craft slump. Life is trying right now, winter has been long… (boring whinging blah blah blah life blah you get the idea). This equally boring wash cloth is as mundane as they come- but the yarn is cheery and it has now been completely used up. I’ll take that win.
