felting for the first time!


Ok so for those of you reading who don't know what felting is....it's when you knit/crochet in 100% wool and then throw it in some hot water to shrink it. The stitches are closed so -to-speak (ie no gaps) and you have a nice thick new fabric (kinda like when you accidentally shrink a sweater).

Anyways, I am testing out a pattern for a friend. When it's perfected feel free to stop over to starknits and order one! It's a really cute shoulder bag and so far it's really easy for a novice like me! I am trying to do it in a cafe au lait color skeem as Allena and I used to spend a lot of time talking over coffee. Mmmm Coffee.... I digress

Life over yonder hasn't been to exciting. My SIL come for the weekend so my kiddos got to hang out with their cousin. He's 18 months old and oh so cute! We had DH BBQ us some delicious ribs and let the kiddos run around in the sprinklers.




Well my kiddos are screaming over a toy so I'd better wrap this up. TTYL
