I ask you, what is better than the smell of wet wool in the evening? OK, almost anything, but undaunted by the smell, and now the owner of very clean jeans, I spent last evening felting!
It’s the end of the trimester here at the school of the overworked teachers and that means that in addition to grading papers, averaging grades, and writing report cards, we have a flurry of completed knitting! Knit quick kids, before the class ends!!
The fruits of their labor and my washing machine resulted in two felted bowls, one purple clutch, and a really nice button hole bag. (Kind of makes you want to sing, no?) One Skein and Mason Dixon provided the inspiration.
The other one, oh, I made that… It’s the striped tote from One Skein, and by the time I was done I realized I should have just knit a sweater. See prefelting photo shoot here.
Saturday the kids are selling some of their own knitting creations to benefit charity… so there is still deadline knitting to finish, gotta teach them early!
