Another head in the Treetops Cap

01ellenintreetopsI knit this hat for Ellen but it is so soft and lovely that I’ll be wearing it when she isn’t!

I knit this in LOFT – a 100% American wool – Grown in Wyoming, spun in New England – this wool is very fun to knit.

I used size US 2 and 3 knitting needles and knit this hat in the round. Here is a link to my pattern.

Another new niece knitter!

Taught Hannah to knit

Machine knitting felted hats

Two parties next week!

I’m desperately low on my felted caps and I have two big parties coming up. . . so, I thought I’d spread the wealth and hire/teach my niece Hannah to operate a knitting machine. She did very well and is on her way to being very productive. Thank goodness!

Needlefelting of the Irish

Another needlefelting party come and gone.

Some great items were decorated at this party on Saturday, March 15th.

Look for the clutches to be sold soon on etsy!!

The beautiful colors and designs that come out of inexperienced needlefelters is AMAZING.

Geez, I love this job!

Another needlefelting party!

I spent the weekend with some very creative people! We danced, sang, played music AND needlefelted.

I provided the hats, purses, and scarves for people to decorate. It’s a great way to visit and play!

Here are the results.

Also, notice Sofie’s scarf (at the bottom). She has a lovely rose growing on her scarf. Who says needlefelting has to be flat!

Needlfelt decorating hats

Yesterday I led a needlefelting party at a friend’s home and I thought I’d share some of the beautiful work done by the participants. We shared good conversation, red wine and our creative juices were flowing.

Just a few examples of how these great hats (for sale at my esty store) can look.

Off to do some well deserved knitting! Tata.
