 |
|
One of my many hobbies is Crafts.
I currently do Knitting, Cross Stitch, Tapestry, Tablet Weaving, Drop Spinning, Rug Loom, Luceting, Sewing (mainly costumes).
I also make greetings cards using odds and sods and cross stitch pieces.
I am also contemplating jewellery making, but I don't know if I will have the time :cat:

Thought I would post some pictures of some of the crafts I do.
Drop Spinning - The spinning of a raw fleece using a weighted spool dropping it and twisting the fleece to make wool

A Lucet - used for making cords - very similar to french knitting but only using 2 pins instead of 4

Yeah they are mainly Medieval Crafts and I do incorporate them into the shows we do, but I enjoy doing them at home as well.
Problem is I always have part finished projects on the go and can never decide which one I want to finish first. When I get some piccies of the other crafts I'll post them on here as well

Where ever they will hire us - this August Bank Holiday we are at Pembroke Castle - which is always a good show. We've been to numerous Castles across England and Wales and we have done Fete and Festivals
