wee quinnie Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Here are some things made in the wee quinnie household. I am in no way smug about this - as everything involved a bit of bodging together and is in some degree not how the pattern (if there was one) dictated. Look at my threads sticking out!So lets see some of your handiwork peeps - the more ramshackle/homespun the better.PS More to follow Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2904-yeh-i-made-it-myself/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huguenot Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I'm a big fan of the purple jumper.I knitted a scarf once, but could never work out when I'd reached the end of a row, so it was more of a triangle. A large knitted triangle. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2904-yeh-i-made-it-myself/#findComment-89571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Palaeologus Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I once made a candle holder too. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2904-yeh-i-made-it-myself/#findComment-89572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockney piers Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I used to knit dishcloths during one particularly cold winter at school. It was the only way I could stay indoors during those two frozen frozen weeks.They weren't purple though.

Moos Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I made a knitted hat once at school (aged 8) but disgraced myself by taking 3 terms to do it instead of the regulation 1 term. All the other kids made a skirt which they modelled at the end of the year in a catwalk show, while I sat glumly in the audience clutching my knitted hat.

giggirl Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I knitted a jumper once. It was awful. I may still be on the wanted list for "crimes against wool". Then I discovered Selfridges and the rest is history.The purple one is nice though.

wee quinnie Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 I have had a poke around the paint tins in the cellar, and I think it is Soft Fauna 3 by Dulux.It was one we ripped off from the Tate Britain collection I think. Light greeny blue.When Dulwich Picture Gallery did their changing faces of childhood (or whatever it was called) exhibition a few months back, I sent them a mail to find out what paint they'd done the walls in - felt a bit wierd about that as I thought the expo was rubbish.

mattham Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I can't knit or sew ? and I'm always impressed that (blatant sexism alert) women seem to know how to. I like fixing things though. Here's a staircase I spent rather too long on a while back. The before pic doesn't really show just how bad it was to begin with ??someone had cut all the edges off the stair treads. Why, I do not know. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2904-yeh-i-made-it-myself/#findComment-90636 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeckhamRose Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Fabulous one and all.Love the old dial telephone too!!I made a fabulous delicious carrot cake last week for a friend who had been very kind to me in recent troubles.It decorated it with walnuts and grapes.It was ate before I could find me camera!I don't much enjoy cooking but now and again I get the urge and surprise the hell out of everyone.

wee quinnie Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 Nice one Peckham Rose - I do like a good carrot cake. Yum yum.As regards the old dial phone - it is actually a push button digital, cunningly styled to look like the old ones. Has a very nice bell ring sound as well.If you buy the dial ones that are on sale around ED at the mo., you will prob find that when the analogue signal gets switched off in the not too distant future...they aren't going to work for outgoing calls!
