Santa Visit

Autumn, Ashley & Amber

Possum & Cardigan Updates & new Basket!


Well, in the rush to get Christmas cards mailed, jam & jelly made and holiday baking started I've not had much time for knitting and felting, but here are some project updates.

Scruffy the possum is about 4/5 of the way completed. He still needs refining and finishing before his debut.













The Sweet Mary Jane Cardigan is not a difficult pattern. However, because you are knitting the entire body (front and back panels) all at the same time it is slow going. I really love this yarn from Knitpicks!








Finally, this last week at school the girls' art teacher surprised me with a wonderful homemade basket. This was made out of her recycled clothes and it is just perfect to keep my WIPs in! Mrs. Lee rocks.

Needle Felting WIPs




I now have 3 unfinished needle felted projects awaiting completion. The possum was just started this afternoon and he's not even halfway done yet. I'm hoping to finish them all this week. Because the materials aren't as portable as knitting and I'm in my car so often I've just not made the headway. I'll pack up the necessary wool, needles, foam and have a very fuzzy car. I'll post finished pictures too.
