WHAT DID YOU MAKE TODAY?

[GreyCat]

Hoop and set of primary shaped ribs for a big cynell basket, plus some hoops for other sizes of cynell baskets.... (need to make some smaller rib formers to go with the smaller hoops).

It's not really the rightnti e of year but if you use second season biomass willow and leave a week between cutting and splitting/forming g it's OK.

Currently they are all hung from crop bars in the polytunnel to dry.

I use old bicycle wheels as hoop formers, and just obtained some bicycle wheel rims so I have more sizes of former, they work really well

It wasn't today but whilst at the Moot I taught myself how to carve owl bookmarks


Then went on to teach it to others in a couple of workshops. Unfortunately I only managed to get pictures of a couple students owls

Not so much made as modified a PLCE sh1tbin to be a bit nicer. Simple thing and a bit of simple sewing.

1) Thin shock cord around the pouch and under the daysack yoke. A little bit of compression. Secures back pad and somewhere to stow a jacket.

2) Back pad. Folded foam seat pad behind the yoke. Gives a bit more support and easy to remove and sit on

3) Paracord loop pouch inside as a key clip/tie down.

4) Paracord grab handle on the yoke.

5) ALICE issue dressing/compass pocket sewn on the lid. Holds boo boo kit, mini bic lighter and wet wipes.

last week i cobbled up a small "veshmeshok" style backpack from various scraps i had floating around -- as it was sewn by hand it kept me occupied for a few evenings... not perfect, but it's doing it's job

I devoted ten whole minutes to this project.

Back scratcher £1.50 from a Llandudno stall. (Wish I’d taken a before shot.)

Saw off both ends

Pocket bellows @ about a fiver.

I don’t need one and saving £4 isn’t a big deal but hey - it works.

A result is a result.

A result is a result.

That is a serious temptation ...

Because I felt like it

Holly Shillelagh, or, as it is loaded with lead in the 'fighting end', it should properly be called a Smachtin.

Harry Potter has one just like that.

Another pair of hiking socks for my husband. That's four pairs this month.
I am rather scunnered of knitting socks just now.
