PINK SQUATTIE

Pink Squattie and Furry Squattie.

This squattie is my first. It has a few boo-boos but with the felting, you would never know where they are...

Squatties

This is squattie after felting. It took several trys to get this purse to felt correctly. Perhaps because of the eyelash yarn it just took a long time. I finally ended up putting it through 2 cycles in the washer and 10 minutes in the dryer. I have a front loader washer and it actually came out okay. I have read that front loaders are not the best thing to use to felt because you can't open the door mid cycle to check the felting process. Well...it worked just fine.

This is squattie, before felting. Looks like a large furry purse. Started this yesterday, Saturday...just couldn't put the kneedles down. Finished it this morning, Sunday.

I used black worsted wool mixed with acrylic eyelash. It is very soft to the touch.

So...okay now to the felting.

More Socks, with mates

My Very First Pair
Not too bad for the first attempt. Don't look too carefully - there are lots of problems. They do fit however and I have actually worn them.












The Second Pair
These turned out nicely. Great on a winter day.















The Third Pair
Starting to get the hang of this pattern. Lorna's Laces yarn is really nice to work with.












The Fourth Pair
Same pattern as the first socks...made with Lorna's Laces...wild looking.

SOCKS and more socks

Just finished this one (got to start the other one really soon or you know what might happen...mateless.
