Felting Felting

Ok, so I'm addicted to felting - I want to start a million felting projects but I need to control this! I finished this felted purse from a Berrocco pattern - but I didn't like it flat so I added a gusset, now I don't like the strap - so I have some ideas - got any ideas for me? Maybe the strap isn't long enough...I can't decide.

Yummy Socks

I am almost done with a pair of socks I'm keeping for myself - they are made with Austermann Step which is infused with Jojoba and Aloe, they are so yummy - and I did the ankle with a simple lace pattern I found in a book of sock patterns - can't wait to get the other one done, they feel so good!

And check this out, I found clear clogs, and they are comfy - I gave Chelle a pair for Christmas, we both seem to be obsessed with bright pattern socks and Chelle is the lucky recipient of 3 pairs of my handknit socks - now we can show them off!!

Happy New Year!

Whew! Its been awhile - I bit off more than I could chew for the holidays - knitting my little fingers off for all my loved ones - I'll post a few pics of the things I knit for gifts:

Slippers for many and mittens for nieces, nephews (oh, and one pair for ME!):

Scarves for Chelle (I did finally get Chelle's done!) and Murika:


Caps for a friend going through chemo - made of casmerino!






And Snow People for my parents to remind them of Winter in MN while they retire in FL - Mom's in the Red Hat organization - hence the red hat!



Everyone said they loved their gifts!! Happy New Year!
