Here we go!

This is my first post.  After giving it some thought I decided to share with you some of the things that I have going on in my life as well as some projects I have worked on.  We will have to see how this pans out....ha ha!

First off I would like to wish  

my beautiful daughter, Amy, 

a Happy Birthday! 

  

I do, as you probably have read on my profile, 

love all types of art.  

My favorite is fiber art.  

So today's post is about....

Knitting

Project -- felted handbag

It was knit using a entrelac knitting pattern.  For you knitters out there, this calls for a lot of turning -- knit one row TURN

then purl....I have learned to knit backwards

instead of turning the project

and purling and have

found it to be easy and

makes to project go much faster.

I used a coloring changing yarn called Noro -- color Kureyon. 

I was happy with the outcome.

This is the purse after knitting....

I do enjoy felting some of my knitted

projects.  This done by using 100% wool yarn

and then putting the finished project in the
wash machine on hot wash and cool rinse. 
I usually put a big bath towel in there

with it to make it felt better. 
After two or three washings
(or whenever you are happy with it)
it will be ready.

After felting....

Project completed....

Now to find some money to put in there
and off to shopping I go....

Enjoy your blessed day, my friends!

Beth

I'm too blessed to be stressed!!!!

The way to happiness:

keep your heart free from hate,

your mind from worry,

live simply,

expect little, give much.
