Well, inspired by the rest of you I've finally made my first duct tape bag. We don't have fancy coloured stuff over here, so I had to make do with normal silver stuff and black electrical tape.

The writing up close. It's from The Dresden Dolls (a band), I didn't make it up:


The inside of the bag, with one of my books in the pocket and my drumsticks at the bottom to demonstrate it's usefulness :


Me modeling the bag, badly:


Had to resize them a few times, but hopefully they're ok now.

So what do you guys think?

I made this a few days ago for my boyfriend for tomorrow, as he's broken all of his past necklaces. Its basically just made out of a lot of scoubidou strings and beads with a safety pin for a clasp... might change that...

Well, heres the pictures...

Me wearing it:


A close up:


I have another picture, but image shack is being evil at the moment... I'll try to get it up later.

Today I went out and bought a pair of 10mm needles to finally try out some projects from a knitting book my friend gave me for Christmas. This is the first time I've used such big needles, the first time I've done a purl stitch AND the first thing I've done that isn't a scarf or a random shape for practice (and I've only made one scarf). I love the stuff I've seen posted on here, my crafts however are basic and badly done. Enjoy!

Heres the result of one evening of knitting...

I had to get my mum to do the seams for me, as I felt I'd already learned enough for today.
