So, I finished knitting a second version of my door stopper. This is it prior to felting, about 54" long. I paid a lot more attention to its size as it shrunk in felting. I fully closed one side of the tube, and half closed the other side so that they would felt that way and I would have to do less seaming afterwards.
I am really interested in felting these days, though I have concerns when I am doing it. I want to felt a couple of bags for Christmas gifts this year. Perhaps after all of the practice I will have in felting these wine bottle holders for my friends will give me some more confidence and I will just have more experience in knowing what to look for.
I really want to be a faster knitter. I have so, so many patterns that I am dying to try. I just can't seem to get there fast enough! I know I have only been knitting and crocheting for 9 months, but gosh darnitt I wanna be amazing already! Chop chop! Hahah.
I also really want to try a bunch of different dresses and skirts. Part of the problem with those, of course, is the yarn itself. I fully understand why natural yarn is expensive. However, that doesn't make it any less frustrating for me! So I am doing my best to make due, to check Craigslist and shop just the sales. It does mean that I can't buy from the local shops for the time being, though. I have two sweaters from the thrift store that I am pulling apart. I am thinking of using some of the yarn to work on a skirt in the green and a dress in the purple. I figure when I run out of the purple yarn I can create an accent in white cotton, which I already have, and make it look cute that way. But, we'll see how it goes!
I think I have kept up with pictures on here of my projects, but in case I have missed some I also have them on Rav under my profile 'hopesndreams' if you want to check them out over there. As I think I have mentioned before, too, I have my first pattern up there as well for a bedside rug. Bedside Rug Right there in fact!
