What about a bit of cross stitch embroidery

That's very cool, I like the little alien - who somehow manages to look grumpy. Did you design it yourself?

Thank you I found it for free on the DMC web site. DMC manufacture embroidery thread and sell kits, but they also have some patterns you can download if you register with them. They have patterns for needle point projects and embroidery as well.

It's lovely I am hopeless at any kind of sewing or cross stitch somehow!

Recently drawing/doodling, air dry clay and lots of knitting

The only creative thing I've done recently is this



And installing Windows on an old laptop - I find that quite creative - tweaking everything when setting it up from scratch and making sure everything works.

I love the colour of the item you’re knitting .

Your doodle drawing is wonderful. You should do illustrations

Computers are creative. Engineering calls for imagination

Well it's still a bit "hands on" For a number of years I have been planning to get out my knitting - but life just didn't seem to fit in with it!

I envy people who can lose themselves in knitting. I can't keep track of where I am and also am too clumsy to maintain an even tension

I used to be a knit-a-holic when I was younger! Things changed - wool got very expensive and life got more hectic. Then there was a craze for knitting for a while with certain famous brands and it seemed everyone was doing it. I started again about 12 years ago for a project, and did quite a lot - my favourite thing was a giant sock as a Christmas stocking Then we moved house and well - life just changed! I just need to get the knitting bag out really and start something! But there is always something else needs doing.
