Felted Needle Case

Yay a finished project.

Here it is before felting.
I decided it needed a little extra Oomph. So it got a single crochet border of sorts. My first atempt at that, hoorah for learning something new.

Hand felting supplies... Big Bowl, Wooden Spoon, Soapy water, and Stargate SG-1 Season 3 DVD.
An episode later....
Then Finally after much Splashing and cold water rinsing Voila.
Here's how it looks tied shut.

And stuffed full of knitting needles.

I finished this yesterday. I haven't knit at all today, spent 3hrs making a vegetarian version of shephards pie an several hours making a costume for Saturday's Zombie walk. Bwahahahaha

Works in progress

Work in Progress #1

started 08/20/2007

This will be a Felted Needle Case based loosely on this Lion Brand pattern except with some way more exciting Norwegian Wool (fritidsgarn) and a slightly different stitch count.

I hope it felts up ok. oops forgot to do one of those test swatches.

Work in Progress #2

Started about 08/08/2007

Beach wrap skirt, maybe, made of some sort of cotton that i've long since lost the ball band for.

So far it's been fun knitting.

Work in progress #3
Started sometime in June

One lonely little sock. It's matching buddy is about an inch past the ankle ribbing. A couple more weeks of bus trips and it should be a matching pair.

And Finally...

Work in progress #4

Started about a year and a half ago

I introduce the "Blanket of DOOM"

Planned for 3 stripes of each color. Knit in Stockinette stitch.

It's hard to tell from the photo but it currently measures 12 feet by almost 4 feet. When done i'm guessing it will be 12 feet by 7 feet. A crazy huge giant. Its boring knitting. I haven't picked it up in months

Must resist the urge to start new projects with today's stash additions.... 100% alpaca
