Finished “Not Quite Fall”
I seem to be on a finishing jag. When this one was finished I see an Indian vibe. Something like a horse blanket. I enjoyed doing the embellishing. this is not the greatest photo of it. I made a mini twin of this one too. You can see the process at https://daisyhillstudio.art.blog/metamorphosis-at-work/ I will be… Read more

Trying a new stitch
I have been experimenting with crochet stitches. Some for getting the bulk off the stitch, I believe this will allow the felting process to come together faster and lighten the wool once felted. The stitch is shorter but loosing bulk while making a looser stitch. So here goes an attempt at a description. Crochet like… Read more

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
