The winter solstice is nearly upon us with tomorrow marking the shortest day of the year. We are still right in the thick of winter and now that all my holiday knitting is done; I am planning the next set of projects I can begin. I love the feel of yarn in my lap as I contentedly knit away and plan in my head the gifts i will give the next holiday, the next birthday. Happy Winter Solstice! Happy Holiday season. HAppy knitting!

This is what inspires me the most about wool felts; the colors! I love that I can work with a color palette that excites me! I envision using all the felt shapes to embellish my felted knit pieces like scarves, purses and hats. Come with me on what will be an interesting, creative and fun journey!





The newly created felt corner soon to grow with even more product. Now, you can embellish your knitted pieces or other work. Look soon for samples that I am busily creating!





Beautiful felted beads in an array of stunning colors!

This is Regina wearing a scarf that I've just knit made with Noro Silk Garden yarn. I love the riot of colors Noro uses in their yarn and the subtle blending and shade gradation they are able to achieve. It is just a simple scarf, knit of row upon row of garter stitch but in the making of this piece, I was again reminded of how pleasurable just simple knitting is. The meditative and calming that knitting has on me is a true joy.
