I made this scarf for the Naturopath that works with me.. it’s a belated birthday present….. It’s made with GarnStudios Eskimo, and some orange rayon stuff I bought months ago.. but didn’t save the tag. I love it!! the colors are much more vibrant than it shows here. She loves it!

Mom – Felted Mittens
Dad – Felted Slippers
Sister #1 – Purse – not wool
her hubby – slippers
Sister #2 – Felted bag
Her man – maybe golf club covers or slippers
Sister #3 – Felted purse
Her hubby – maybe slippers
Neice #1 – felted bag DONE!!!!
Neice #2 – Felted slippers
Neice #3 – felted slippers

MIL – cabled socks, and felted slippers?
BIL – slippers
SIL – felted mittens

Then there are friend/co-worker presents and all their kids…..
Does it seem like I”m making a shitload of felted stuff???

I’m also planning on knitting at least 3-4 felted bags for the holiday bazaar, I’d like to knit a couple easy ponchos for that too…. and….oh, I’m going to make some beaded stitch holders to sell at my LYS. Yeah,I’d say I have my hands full this year.
And we’re about to demolition our downstairs bathroom… Winter is going to be long this year!

I love this bag! The yarn was hand dyed, with black cake dye… somehow turned out purple. Can’t wait to see what it looks like felted.

You are Merino Wool.
You are Merino Wool.
You are very easygoing and sweet. People like to
keep you close because you are so softhearted.
You love to be comfortable and warm from your
head to your toes.

What kind of yarn are you?
