Patons Classic Wool; Plum Heather and Currant color yarn. Knitted and felted.
Patons Classic Wool; Current with a little Plum for the inner cuff.
Hi!
Made these for my daughter, she loves green. Although the photo doesn't show the colors well, put together they make camouflage.
Hand knit, felted and double-cuffed for a better, more cozy fit at the wrists and lots of warmth on the fingers.
Found the idea in a book called "Knit One Felt Two". Although I don't always follow her patterns exactly (in this case I did), I do find the book to be so inspirational. So those of you needing some ideas, I recommend the book (if you don't already have it).
Thank you for visiting!
Now it can be carried alone or I can tuck the strap inside and slid the cellphone cover (with cellphone) into my FeLTeD purse!
Thank you for looking!
First time felting onto something felted!
This side is a flower I created "freehand". The other side (below) is the backside and the flower and leaf were created using a cookie cutter.
I like this side the best and overall I really enjoyed doing this!
I needed a bag that would carry everything, iNcLuDiNg my knitting!
Before felting, this knitted bag measured 16in tall x 17in wide. After felting it measures 9in tall x 13in wide.
Used size US 9 circular needles and worsted weight wool yarn. 132 stitches and 6 stitch pattern and decrease.
Hope you like!
I made this for my daughter who LOVES pocketbooks and handbags.
First it was hand knit with Patons Classic Wool and then felted.
Wish I had measured the original size. The finished size is 8in Tall and 10in across the top. Doesn't seem too much small than before felting.
Turned out well and she's pleased!
This slipper was the 4th attempt at a slipper pattern and is the 1st to have made it all the way to the felting stage. (I tossed the ones prior to these...)
Unfortunately, during the felting it shrunk too much to send to my uncle or my father-in-law, so it headed to CT with my daughter to her Nature's Classroom camping trip (for the week).
Have seen others made like mine (pointy and all) from the same book (Knit One Felt Two), and theirs are very similar. I understand the pattern and see where it goes a bit funky, so I think I can make the next pair a bit more normal looking.
This pair is like the first pair but I really watched the shrinking and stopped felting the slippers in time and they are still large enough to fit my father-in-law.
I designed this pair and the first pair posted by using intuition and seem a little more normal looking and fitting.
The wool yarn is a very bulky yarn and size 10 needles and knit the items super huge before felting. Needles were straight and circular needles (depending on which slipper....)
Thank you for looking.
