hello

July 27 :: Color Me WoolTop :: spinning of the week, about 80 yards, picture is blurry so no close-up, this is the only Michigan goodie I have played with so far.

Having the Kureyon box out and Karly being in need of new slippers(the above pattern is good one), I've been working on new fuzzy feet for us, using the same felted numbers as Chris's hat. Felt is one thing I have never gotten good photos of, it is always so exquisitely beautiful. here is an attempt anyway

somehow I missed the arrival of summer knitty , I can daydream that someday that cover-boy could be my grandbaby...who was so sweet to leave me a comment this week xoxoxoxoxo

July 26 :: Send up appropriate prayers to the felting pixies

and sometimes it comes out well. for my memory, kureyon, US #7, i-cord down, increasing 8 stitches every other round to 128. 5 inch knitted length felts to 4 1/4... but I forgot to measure this pre-felted, and ear part was total guesswork, I got lucky. This is for one of my nephews, who will look much better in it.

happy orange is the Auraucania cotton shawl, pattern from "The Purl Stitch" I like it very much, but would prefer it came down more in the back.
