Another new concept
I decided I wanted to do an all cream colored wool design then add the color after it is crocheted. It will then get felted. I think that the color will be contained near where it gets crochet it.

Burlap study felted (Big Sky)

Burlap concept piece started
Had the idea to crochet into burlap then felt it. I have come along and have the current stitching on my metamorphosis page. I can hardly wait to felt it but is a long way from being ready for that step. Read more
