I Felt Good. (tee hee) Grammar for Knitters.

I've been in a knitting frenzy. Okay, maybe not a frenzy, but I'm having fun. I finished my knitting needle case and though it didn't turn out "perfectly" (mainly, due to my lack of precision) I rather like it. Now I just need some empty needles to put IN the case... so many of mine are occupied with half-finished projects. In order to accomplish this task as I did on Christmas Day, I had to actually quickly teach myself to crochet. This was accomplished through the help of my Grandma's how-to-crochet book I found at her house when I stopped to borrow a crochet hook. I can't believe I forgot this simple detail in the construction of my case. However, I still managed to work up some button loops. Yay!


In fact the felting process was so cool I immediately tried to felt something else. I got an idea to make a little bag-like purse out of the extra pink... that plan transformed into something a bit more and I actually really like how it turned out. I managed to create this one in two days!

Here are the before and after felting shots.
