| Yo-yos, two meanings, two crafts, do you do either one? | | Wood workers and found object people might make the wooden or plastic yo-yos that people play with.Cloth workers, fabric designers, recycled and homey craft workers might make the clother yo-yos. Small circles cut out, sticed 1/4 inch or so from the edges, gathered, and flattened to make discs to sew either together or onto something.So do you make either of those? Buy and use either of those (both kinds are pre-made now, so you can just buy and use them)? Do you sell them or just make them for personal use? | |
| | Any other stick weavers out there? | | Stick weaving has been traced back to the time of the Crusades. I learned it at an SCA event. It caught my eye because it works up a lot faster than knitting or crochet or inkle weaving and it a fantastic and easy way to make straps and scarves.
I made my own sticks out of dowels. I've had good luck using the woolease yarn. I usually use one color for the inside cord and another for the outside cord. When I have time, I'll add photos to this. Or see them on my Flickr page here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/almostfamous/201311906/

| Name that craft project. | | How long has it been since you were working on a craft project? What was it, who was it for and did you finish it or are you still working on it?The last thing I did was crocheting granny sqaures for a scarf. That was 2 days ago and I'm about half done. It is for a class display board. | |
| | If you knit or crochet | | If you knit or crochet please add me to your friend's list. There is nothing I love to talk about more. I'd love to cheer you on. But I can't comment on your photos unless you add me as a friend. So let's get the creativity flowing and show and tell all our projects. | |
