“Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, Sauté it, whatever. MAKE.” ~ Joss Whedon

The Monthly Create, Make and Share Thread is a monthly gathering of people that love to create and make. From yarn (crochet, knitting), fabric (sewing, quilting), threads (embroidery, weaving), wood crafts, ceramics, artwork and anything else you create and would like to share, this is the place to do it. Sharing something you’ve created and/or made is pure joy...and we need joy in our lives!

From complete Newbies that are looking to start that first project, to experienced artists, we would love to hear from you. If you have questions or would like advice, there’s probably someone on the thread who would be able to help.

It is impossible to hijack the Monthly Create, Make and Share Thread. Knitting, crochet, sewing, quilting, weaving, general crafting, art, wood working, patterns, articles on any of these topics, or even your own writing. There is no telling where it will go, and that is part of the fun and interest. Jump in and join us! Send a Private Message to Diana in Wisconsin if you’d like to be added to our Ping List.

NOTE: This is a once a Month Ping List. We DO post to the thread during the month. Links to related articles and discussions which might be of interest to other Create, Make and Share fans are welcomed any time.

If you ever worked knots, try macrame

Have bandaids handy, as it gets rough on the knuckles.

Rugs
Ornaments
Belts
Planters
Bell pulls

It gets involved

It used to be a thread thread! ;)

My latest creation for my Yoga Room (an enclosed porch!):

I've starting having everything professionally framed now, I used to do the framing myself - but the results are much better with the professionals, the process was always difficult for me and the results not as good as the professionals.

Pretty much! We were just chatting about the Fiber Arts, but now we’re including everyone. :)

Yes, darn it! And we want the truth, no spinning any yarns.
Tip #1 Sewing with a blunt needle is pointless.
Tip #2 Keep plenty of materials on hand because they can get de-pleated.
My finished macrame was so horrible, I'd like to have dyed. And now I'm running out of material. I couldn't help myself, I guess it's in my jeans.

That is really beautiful!

Is there anything you CAN’T do???!!! : )

Life continues at a mad pace. I don't have the knitting time I used to; but I did manage to finish this pair of baby socks It's a pattern I have tweaked that I call "Diaper Pin Baby Socks," utilizing a diaper pin for a stitch holder and measuring tool. This yarn knits up to look like Fair Isle, and it's thin, love it. I believe it is Opal yarn.

Cute! :)

I can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. ;)

What a fun thread! Thank you for posting, Diana. Here's a recent acrylic I did on 4' x 3' stretched canvas:

I love it! You captured the eyes perfectly. :)

[Quilla]

Thank you, you’re too kind. My granddaughter and I are going to learn how to make leather bracelets this weekend (she wants to give her dad one for Christmas). If we pull it off, I’ll share it with y’all. Thanks again, Diana.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Please do! :)

Here is an incredible knot artist. It's truly one-of-a-kind fiber work on a large scale:

Quilla, your dog portrait is stunning and beautifully composed in the space. I love it!

Nevertheless, I am an incorrigible joker, and I thought you might get a laugh out of this meme:
