Its felted !! I am pleased with the end result. I am glad I used the black for contrast....its really brought out all the colours.


Decided to add some detail to the closing flap. I did a blanket stitch and then crochet an edge with striped wool. It looks finished now.

Found a wicked wool from Spotlight called " Vintage hues' from Cleckheaton. Its a self striping wool in brilliant colours. this one is mixed with a light blue Spotlight acrylic yarn. Love the rainbow effect....



This bag is made with the same wool, different colour combination, and I used a light blue and mauve acrylic yarn stripped through it. I experimented with sewing some of the wool on the flap in swirls and crocheted an edge along the bottom.


Was amazed how well this bag came out.....I think I am addicted to the anticipation of opening the washing machine to see what comes out !!!!
I used the orange/ green/ red ... Cleckheaton " Vintage hues " with a heap of scape yarns I had in similar colours. Its a great sized bag and the little crocheted worms really work on the front.



Another " Vintage hues " bag, this time with the purple/ yellow/ green wool. I striped it with light and dark purple acrylic yarn. Crocheted a straight edge along the bottom and curved it in the drying process.

This one is in the washing machine at the moment.....can't wait to see it. I used the " Vintage hues" again.....love this wool.... and this time used black acrylic to emphasise the bright colours. Its a different shape too, so I,ll see if its worth doing again.

A bag for me !!! Love green and purple together, its actually alot nicer in real life , the photo doesn't do it justice.



Made this great little gargoyle at ceramics, used the antiquing effect and painted his eyes with gold paint. He's made to hang over a shelf, at the moment his guarding the grog ...lol





This was a present a made for a friend. I made the letters at ceramics and glued them to a beautiful old seat of a chair...( no longer a working chair, only had the seat left) I distressed the seat and added a beaded wire hanger..(not shown...added after I took the pic)

Finally finished this one...
I did end up using the knitted piece as the closure. I blanket stitched round the handle...just looks better and feels more sturdy. Added some of my recycled jewels , even used a clip on earring as the closure clip...works well.




I like the combination of the felted bag and the unfelted section.

Knitted up this item on circular needles using some balls of wool left over from previous felted bags. Used alot more of the cream wool this time , and stripped it with some non felting yarn as well for effect. Am still deciding where to go with this project, had all sorts of ideas. Was initially going to sew denim pockets on to it, but my daughter when bllaahh....so I guess not !
I have knitted up a shape and was going to sew it on to the front as a pocket, but then I got the idea of maybe using that as the closure for the top. I,ll see how it goes and post a pic when its done. Don't know why this project hasn't come together quicker...ah well. I think I know why...coz I started this blog ..lol now I,m spending MORE time on my laptop than before....




Put these cushions together for my daughter last Christmas so they would match the colours in her room. Sewed the knitted fronts onto metalic purple cushion covers and they didn't turn out too bad. They look great on her bed....when she makes it ...




More of my furry little friends ..lol Love the contrast of the white with the brightly coloured bobbles.



And other one..... anyone want a cosy ..lol
