I'm making my first venture into felting (well, felting on purpose). It's going to be a gift so I hope it comes out ok.Hopefully (fingers crossed) it will come out looking something like this:
The pattern is from Judith Durant's recent book. I'm really loving this book so far. Nice projects and what's really cool is they are arranged in the book by yarn weight. I'm a big fan of short-and-sweet projects and this book is chock full of really nice ones.
I love Manos yarn. I just love love love it. Beautiful to work with and the most gorgeous colors.
Most projects almost always teach me something new and unexpected, as this surely did. I didn't realize you could make a tube by knitting on DP's and slipping stitches. I was a little perplexed when I started the pattern, then when I saw the tube magically growing, I said, "WHY didn't I know about this trick before???!!!" It's pretty nifty, I'll tell you.
I just need to bind off and make the cord. I'll keep you posted.....
Let's check in with Biddlepants.
