“Will I Remain Neutral” finished
I framed “Will I Remain Neutral” today. Painted the back in chocolate brown chalk paint (I prefer the chalk paint as it has a no shine finish) This one has a lot more depth and finesse to it.

Accident or on purpose?
I made this piece the other day. I felted it and here is the outcome. Was it an accident or did I do this on purpose? I am gifted yarns from time to time. most know that I only request felting wool. However, I do use novelty (non-felting) yarns too. Many times the skein bands Read more

I’ve got a speck
I have wanted to attempt a style I call speck work. This is crocheting all in one color then going back in and just put in specks of colors. I was wanting to do all in wool but…I had this stuff called “Pretty Punch” threads so decided to see how this reacted with the felting Read more

New stitch, maybe
I have been working in half doubles and like them for my work but I decided that I will try the below stitch. It is not a double crochet stitch but a broken half double. I think I might not need as big a hook as I usually use (this is an “L”) using this Read more

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. Maybe will be like tie dyed look. We shall see. I bought the yarn from https://brownsheep.com/ Read more
