Moving In


The knitting machine has officially "moved in"

Of course I had to do a spot of furniture rearranging in order for it to happen
Below is the "after" version of a stool I found in

Mr Flowergarden's "scrap metal" bin!

It came up alright, didn't it Mum! (after a bit of paint and a new cover)

This is my next "bit" of knitting
 

and here it is on the line, after I felted it in a hot wash

Now I have 2 nice bits - I wonder what I will make

PS I've ewrapped again tonight with new yarn, but have had a slight malfunction with my brain.
I'll try again tomorrow night. Forgot which needles had to stick out and which ones in!

The felted wool looks good, lovely colour. So glad you had space for the knitting machine.

That felting makes me cry....I love the piece as it was, the texture of the knit! But how cool at what you made! Go you!

You are amazing!!! Love what you did to the stool. Looks comfy now.

It's hard to decide which I like better - before or after felting. I'm sure you'll turn it into something I'll like even better!
