I guess I should have saved this for a Pink Saturday post, but since I've latched on to a 'rogue' internet connection, I thought I'd go ahead and do a Monday post.
I've taken an interest in felting...I can remember many shrunken items throughout my life; sweaters, jackets and the like. Now felting is 'cool.' Way cool, according to the many books and magazines devoted to felting. I'm hoping this little swatch (I need to knit a few more inches on it) will turn into this felted rose pin:
If it turns out okay, I'll add a few more to my items for sale at the upcoming craft show on Saturday the 22nd. In my spare time, I've been making lots of earrings and a few necklaces. I'll post a picture when I finish my little flower.
That's a lovely color you're working with. I'd love to see your pin when finished.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried that yet. I have a pattern for a knitting needle case that is felted. I keep waiting for that yarn to go on sale.
ReplyDeleteLove it. I tried felting for the first time last week. I used some thrifted sweaters. I actually made a purse that turned out cute. I have a post scheduled tomorrow about it. I never learned to knit, I always envy people who can do it. I have tried but I think there is a definite art to it that I lack. Can't wait to see the finished project! Pam
ReplyDeleteI want to try it!! Can you show how you make it when you finish it? It's so cute!

That pink yarn is beautiful! I didn't realize the felting thing was getting popular. I think it looks neat. I will have to check into it. I enjoy crocheting and I wish I could learn to knit. Neat stuff!
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
