new yarn, new stuff

so....i've been working a lot on felted (fulled) pouches. I love fulling it! it is so fun. You simply crochet an oversized item out of wool and then shrink it. In the process of shrinking it looks and feels different. I really love the checkbook cover below. It fulled so well that you can't tell it was crocheted first...which is fun!

I'm also knitting scarves...but silk scarves! they are turning out really great. I love the way seed stitch highlights the texture of handspun!

so...all of these things are available in my etsy store along with yarn to create anyof them!
