Wow!

felted bowl

I am so surprised by all of the comments I've been getting on the snowman giveaway!  I expected a few, but by Sunday I may have to revise how I choose the winner!  Or else Rose is going to have to learn to count higher.  I appreciate all the great comments; there have been a few that crack me up.  And I just may be sending Rose to someone:) Nah, I'll keep her.

I just put this felted bowl for sale in my Etsy store.  I've decided I love felting!  It's just so cool how the wool changes when you add hot water and friction.  And it's fun sculpting as I crochet or knit the item.  By adding and subtracting stitches I was able to get this sort of sea urchin shape, and then the felting process made it more pronounced.

Off to get some dinner on before DH gets home!

  1. Congrats on the response to your giveaway - I think it's fantastic! I don't know much about felting, but I like that it's a warm and fuzzy result :P Nice to see you filling up your Etsy shop, I am trying to do the same!
