Have you made something and want to show it off? This is the place for your photos or just talk about the things that you have made or would like to make. All crafts from knitting and crochet to woodwork, in fact anything that you have made!
Look what I did!
(and for those of you on the chat room, notice how good I am at wearing clothes, please!)
It's for my mum, she's about the same size as me, so I modelled it up a bit
The front...
The back...
I'm really sorry if the pictures are too big for anyone's connection, I don't know how to reduce them. If it's a big problem, leave a message and I'll
have a go again. I mostly followed a pattern (for the first time in my life!) which was free online, and I'll send to anyone who wants it... but the sleeves I just made
up as I went along, and I picked them up rather than sewing them on after... I don't like finishing!

I desperately want to make one, i bought some yarn and started, and then got lost in the lace of the bottom...i need to frog it and start again at some point...
Like I said though, by the time I got to the sleeves I went freestyle, since my mum wanted baggy sleeves that are roll-up-able. So the extra bit of ribbing sorted that out, and I decided to slip stitch at the edge of the sleeve holes so I could pick up stitches and do the sleeves that way instead of sewing them on after.
I get lost following lace patterns too, I try to do the first 4 rows slowly and carefully and then after that my hands sort of remember the pattern for me.
