First is a few pics of my felted bag I did for a cal at CalPals. I used LB wool and I think an I or J hook. I forgot to take measurements before and haven't done it for the after yet, but it shrank a lot! LOL I really didn't like it until after it was felted either, but now can't wait till it drys completely and I can get grommets and a strap for it! Here's the before:

and here's the after:

Next is something I knitted from a link I found at Fiber Freaks. It is called "calorimetry". I am not happy with my knitting yet and don't know if I ever will be! I just need practice but I would rather crochet since that is what I know! I think I am too old to want to learn another craft! I will just stick with knitting socks, slippers, and dish cloths I think! My dd is modeling (with out make-up...Oh Mom how could you!) She wanted to go out and buy some ear warmers but when I showed her this she liked it and wanted it. I got the 'ol brain going on doing this in crochet too, but here's the link to the knitted one: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTcalorimetry.html


Next is my finished crocheted quilt ghan! YAY Me! Actually this didn't take long to get done at all....less than a month if I would've stayed with it, but it got put on a back burner last year and I just now got it out and completed it a couple of weeks ago. When I picked it back up it was about 1/3 of the way done and it took me about two weeks to get the rest of it done. I really like it and can't wait to put it on the end of a bed or over a chair in my new house!


I made this little monkey hat for my nephews girl friends son. He is about two and has the cutest little blonde curls! I still haven't sent it out...got to do that so he can wear it this winter yet! I made him a sock monkey for Christmas and this to go along with it!

Well that's it for now. I have some pics of my kids I want to post someday..but not tonight! LOL Thanks for looking everyone, hope you enjoy!
