Fall Felting

The weather is turning colder, and it's a great time to be thinking about warm slippers, hot cider, and snuggling by the fire under a cozy afghan. I'm busy with several felting projects at the moment, and fall is such a nice time to work on things like that. I've got 4 pairs of slippers in process (serially, not concurrently) - one pair in the Laced Slippers Pattern, and I'm working on the

39 Felted Snow People - complete

I started Christmas early this year - last April or May. And I'm now done. Whew! I made 13 sets of the Felted Snowmen pattern (39 total snowmen). It was a wonderful project to work on over the summer. Very portable, small, and no heavy warm wool resting on me in the heat. Two of my Lumpies got special Christmas hats and scarves due to a Knit Picks Christmas Hat project (upcoming).

Knit Picks Warehouse Adventures

I just spent a week at the Knit Picks warehouse in Ohio. Heaven. Really nice folks, and a huge building bursting with yarn (and fabric and paint!). What a fun job I have! I got to see the staff making the Carmen Bananas Kits, and the holiday ornaments kits. I had packed light, since the warehouse is definitely dress casual, so I had room to buy a Carmen Bananas kit, and some of the hand-painted stroll yarns. And I got some duller green yarn to make my DH some socks (he has some trousers that col… Continue

Judy Sumner, who wrote "Knitted Socks East to West" is getting ready to begin a sock class that I hope I can attend. The next couple of weeks are so busy with finals coming!

Once you told me the name, I know I've seen it before in the patterns section, but I like your version better, I just love the green. I think it is just the right size. Just around the belt section gives a nice clean line when they wear it. I live on the west side of Tennessee, close to the Mississippi. More fields and such than any mountains, but we are just starting to get the reds of the fall colors. I think this is going to be a particularly pretty season.
