First I bought this very yummy pure wool, especially for felting. The colours in stock are so lovely I wanted them all. I am knitting it with size 6 needles and using garter stitch. When it's felted the stitches wont show so it's not really worth doing a fancy pattern. Speaking of patterns !! I did my usual thing of being impatient to get going. I have no pattern and don't even know how many stitches I have on the needle ( must count them tomorrow) I just thought that taking away the 3rd shrinkage it look enough. Oh I am such a risk taker ha ha. I may not be laughing if it doesn't all go to plan !! and it will be an expensive mistake it all goes pear shaped as the wool is £4.20 a ball.
Above is the latest larger needle felted flower I made. I hadn't seen or bought the wool before I made it, so it's amazing that it's a perfect shade for the intended bag.
I will post a photo of the finished bag when it's finished.
So fingers crossed.
OOOOhhh!!! I can't wait, good luck!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kella, I can't wait myself. I saw some finished bags in the shop and loved them, but they come in a kit. All the wool,pattern, 2 sets of round needles, handles, button, gorgeous but £34 so too expensive at the moment. They are big though and the wool is knitted double so they felt lovely and thick, so perfect for a bit of light shopping.
ReplyDeleteMine wont be anywhere near as big but hopefully still a decent size.
