I haven’t posted a blog post in the last little while because I have been hard at work trying to finish up my Star Wars Blanket. I tried to finish it during the Olympics, but that didn’t work because I ran out of wool not once but twice. So I missed my “deadline” of the closing ceremonies, but I will be able to finish it later today and will write a blog post about it later this week. I am …

July 27, 2012
Our neighbours have a daughter who is obsessed with Nemo and I thought that the left over wool from my son’s messenger bag would be perfect to make one for her. So this morning I went to work and made a Nemo. I think that the end product turned out really cute. I think that I might have to make another one, it was really easy and quick to knit. From start to finished (including felting it) I had it …

I have finally finished a project with some of the fibre that I helped my mom shear off her sheep. It has taken a long time to get to a finished but I think that it was worth the wait and all the hard work. Back in the spring while I was shearing the sheep my son asked me to make him something out of the fibre, so I decided that I would make him a messenger style bag to …

Lately I haven’t had time to post anything that has been going on or what I have been working on. I also have been having a hard time getting access to the computer. Any time that I want to go and post something, I find that the computer is occupied. Then when it becomes free, I am already knitting and don’t want to put it down to write about it. But today I sent everyone out of the house so …

February 28, 2012
For Christmas I made a bunch of Felted Clogs for some nieces and nephews. At that time I said that I didn’t want to make any more for a while. But with my new year’s resolution to try and knit only from my stash, I had to rethink that. I have a bunch of 100% wool in various colours that I could use to make the slippers for some up coming gifts. So I decided to put my stash to …

February 25, 2012
Today I had a figure felting class. It was very similar to the picture felting class that I took back in January, but in this class we learned how to make figures. It was a really good class and I really enjoyed it. The teacher started by showing us how to make basic shapes. Everything is made with a few basic shapes. Once we knew how to make the basic shapes she let us go and make what ever we …

February 9, 2012
In keeping with my new year’s resolution to knit through my stash, I came to a standstill when it came to knitting something for stepfather’s upcoming birthday. I wanted to knit him something with the last bit of handspun that I had left from the hat I knit my husband for Christmas. But when I started making a brim hat I quickly began to realize that I wouldn’t have enough yarn for it. I would only have enough to make …

January 7, 2012
I have always looked at some of the slippers that people do with flowers on them and think that I would love to be able to do that. They add a little bit more to an otherwise plain looking slipper. And some of the details that people add really look gorgeous. So for Christmas my husband bought me some equipment for doing that and along with that he got me a class to learn how to do it. And today was the …
