A friend of mine asked for a white knit hat to wear during Yoga class. . . that was a while ago and the conference is coming up soon.
here are my thought:
somewhat open stitches
lace – like but not girly lace-like
stretchy
length is to top of ears only – don’t need a brim on this one:)
thinking of faggotting lace or some such
well – I’m off to knit. I’ll post pictures when it’s done!
The Friedman family spent some time needlefelting my hats. . . Wish I could have been there to join in the fun!
I was lucky enough to work with some Make A Wish children. . . we decorated hats to sell at the fundraising ball and auction for the Make A Wish Foundation. Hope they brought in lots of dough!!
A good friend of mine celebrated her birthday with a group of friends and needlefelting.
Here are the lovely results!
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!
I helped Mary celebrate a birthday with her family last weekend and we had such a wonderful time!
Here are some results.
A friend of mine has done some amazing needlefelted designs on my felted hats. Just wanted to share them with you!
Of course I must remind you that I sell these hats on my etsy site!
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!
Hi everyone,
I finally did it! I set up a store on Etsy to sell my felted hats.
For the past 3 years I have been holding needlefelting workshops, well I call them parties, to which I bring felted hats and scarves plus all the supplies needed for needlefelting. When I first started doing these parties very few people knew what needlefelting was, but it is becoming more and more popular. To see some of the hats I have decorated with needlefelting see my other post under needlefelting.
Now, my felted hats are available to you on line. So far I have only put up one color. (My goal is to get a different color felted hat that is in stock on line every day. A bit of an ambitious goal me thinks.) They fit young adults through adult size heads. I am experimenting with child sizes but it may be a while before I get those up there. And child sizes aren’t all THAT different from our adult heads. Who knows how old one is before their head is the size it will be for the rest of their life?
It’s a perfect day for knitting. . . too bad I won’t get to it until later this evening. (and then I’ll be taking pictures of felted hats to get on Etsy)
Tomorrow night at the 331 Club some friends of mine are playing at 7pm; the Ditch Lilies – an all girl honky tonk band. I have tap class from 7:30 to 9pm but will be at the club after that. See you there?
Happy Knitting!
Shawn
