needle felt...

...fun

not so long ago I tried my hand at needle felt making and have had hours of fun ever since

it so therapeutic and it amazes me how one little needle can achieve so much with just a small piece of wool

i was lucky enough to be given a kit from the lovely Jenny Barnet, who makes the most beautiful creations from felt...particularly animals...hares being my favourite

here is my attempt to needle felt a hare!

a little more like a dog in places which is why he is named...hairy dog!

...had such fun making him and love him being around the house

welcome wovember...

...a fun way to use wool throughout November

to start (and finish) projects, using only the finest loveliest yarn...made from Pure Wool

i will be pledging to finish my lace weaving...which will be either a table runner or scarf, will decide when it's done

i am just learning to lace weave and find the techniques a joy to do. the winding of the warp has given me some headaches and dressing the loom but the weaving is thoroughly enjoyable and i could spend hours in my studio...if only time would allow

...so i love the idea of a deadline and Wovember has given me one

learning how to lace weave on my old Harris table loom
