Guess what it's snowing again, they say eight to twelve inches. Out of work at 1:00PM today but it did take me over twice as long to get home. So I went up to the Boy's room to take a snow photo this evening and this is as much as I got. "What are you doing mum, this room's cold enough already." I was trying to open the window. The abuse mother's take.
So a good opportunity to get started on my needle felting. I think I'm doing it right, maybe not so right, I stabbed my finger twice once drawing blood, one must pay attention. I wasn't quite happy with the finish, so decided to finish them off with soap and water felting.
The red rose on the left was a gift from Mereknits, the heart on the right is one I needle felted and then wet felted, the other shapes I have not wet felted yet, but I think it will make them look better.
I have had this chain for a while and thought I would like to add the felted pieces to it. I had the idea of embroidering them, I have some lovely pure silk embroidery thread in cream, but less might be more, to wear over a jumper or something. Lots of ideas, but until you put it together you can never tell.
I have started on the Peacock scarf and decided to knit this one a little wider with ten stitches instead of six.
We will see what tomorrow holds. It just may be a by the fire day.

I meant to ask to see your felting things when I was there Monday! Next time! What will you do with the little things you made...which are so sweet?
ReplyDeleteDuh! So sorry--I realize you are making a necklace with them. I was so intent on looking at the felted bits that I missed the necklace part.
