suz_anne@craftycrafty I'm making lots of scarves, gloves and beanies for the winter
Winter crafting already eh? This is way too organised for me!
michelesl1971@craftycrafty I am knitting mesh market bags & also beach bags out of recycled cotton!! I am tired of all the plastic bags!!
Wow, go you with your greenness! I'd love to see the knitted plastic bags, as I've seen so many patterns but not so many finished examples.
blottedcopybook@craftycrafty I'm going to attempt a shirred dress for my daughter using this tutorial - http://tinyurl.com/cehq4s
Looks cool - and I totally love the froggy fabric they've found for the tute!
willowmina@craftycrafty - have just taken delivery of a Me2You X-stitch Wedding Sampler for my sister's nuptials in Sept - think I'll have to do that!
Sounds like you'll have a good summer knitting project on the go then - do let us see the result!
thebluepixie@craftycrafty a dress for the graduation ball (as yet unstarted eek!) and an outdoor mosiac - dishwasher safe crockery must be frostproof?
All sounds highly ambitious!

itssewsweet@craftycrafty I've decided to make something for myself, for a change, and whip up some skirts for the summer.
Good for you! It's nice to be selfish sometimes ;)
