Ok...where I've been

I've not been ignoring the world of knitting... In fact, I've been so immersed in it that I've got little time left for other things. Isn't that the way it goes. Here's what I've been up to.

Felting. I'm addicted. I admit it. And here's what got me started. I wrote up a little pattern...just a tiny pattern...using one skein of yarn for the MAKS booth at stitches. I call it the "The Original Painted Pot"

It's such a cute little pot...you can knit it up and have it felted in an afternoon or evening. Big yarn (Malabrigo 2-ply chunky) and big needles #15 circulars. Throw on the cast on stitches, knit a bit and wham....all done.

What if I added handles? Then, you'd get the "Painted Pot w/Handles" I know...not very creative. But another freakin cute pot:

Well, Miss Alice at MAKS thought it would make a great little girls purse and claimed it for her own. But I had to let her know in no uncertain terms that this was my pot. That it was a pot and not a little girl's purse.

I'm not a heartbreaker, so I made up a new pot with Miss Alice in mind. Here's "Alice's Flower Pot" It's freakin cute too. Just look:

I don't know when to stop. I really like the way the I-cord goes round and round...hmmm...maybe another pot? Well, here's the tester. Call it: "Twisty Ball"

I'm so addicted.
