Felt Work

//My feltwork moodboard which consists of three of my designs, the two stockings, and purse. The heart (which you can see in more detail below) is a pattern that came out of a great book, "Heartfelt" by Teresa Searle who is a successful textile artist. Another favorite felt book of mine is "Scandinavian Needlecraft" by Clare Youngs which is full of great felt projects. Check it out here.

//A Felt Collage: Have many of you out there tried working with felt? If so, how did you like it? Share with me your efforts, I would love to see! 

Also please let me know of any content/post you would like to see here. I would really welcome any feedback so I can make this blog the best it can be for all of you. Thank you!

Hope you are having a happy Monday!

Mood Board Monday Madness

This photo was the color inspiration for a swatch I knit recently and the inspiration for the following mood board.

Here is my progress so far on the "Brett" hat.

Can you tell I love the color orange or just color in general? Color excites me and motivates me much more than neutral hues although there are times when I really like to delve into ecrus, creams, and browns. It can be a nice change.

On a personal note, not to get too morbid or anything, I know how hard the holidays can be sometimes especially if you have lost a loved one. I'm feeling it along with the rest of you. Hang in there, go outside for a walk, give someone a hug, or just get your knitting out or craft of choice and get lost in making something. It will help, I promise.

Any big plans for the holidays? I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

p.s. I am thankful for many things, including all of you who visit my blog even though I don't hear from you. Please let me know what you're knitting for the holidays!

xoxo Shannon
