Successful Felting

blog5.jpgblog4.jpgblog2.jpgblog1.jpg

I went back and made two more felted hats using Judi Meissners pattern and had success this time. One of them even looks good on me! I used Paton’s wool and found that it felted to correct size in 10 minutes. The first one I used a fancy yarn(not fun fur) around the brim. The second one I used a fairisle design but it does not really show a design-I believe it was because my tension was looser while doing this section. I am off to make more. I bought some black and grey yarns to try.

CC’S HATS

The main complaint I hear people say about store hats is that they are too tight and don’t stretch. My hats will fit large heads comfortably. They are also wonderful hats for sporting events.

Another awesome collaboration

I knitted, Linda did the relief, bag design, crochets, assembly and felting.

My friend and I created this scarf together. I knit it and she did the relief work and felting.
