Tea Cosy with daisy and clover

This is a new tea cosy with rather elaborate design. It took a lot of my time!

Spring Flowers?

I suppose everyone is a bit tired of my "poppy" and "daisy" glass cases so this is something new and different! The flowers are definetely spring ones:



And the other side:



Not that sure about colour though...

Ruffle Scarves Demonstration

Last month meeting of YFM was a demonstration on felting ruffle scarves.
We have so many people and they were very enthusiastic!

And here there are a few pictures of a process:


I've seen a few beautiful scarves made already!

Blue BFL

As I mentioned there were three "exhibits" in my demonstration and here is the second one!



Very blue BFL(Bluefaced Leicester), some merino of matching colours and a lot of decorative fibres - viscose, silk squares, yarn, curls...



And here is a red scarf from a previous post as a collar with a brooch:



I really like it!

Red Scarf

Last week I did a demonstration on ruffle scarves for our York Felters Group. To get ready I've made quite a few in advance just to show variety of wool and effects. The most of these scarves are quite short because I've tried to make them in limited time - 3-4 hours, the time of our monthly meeting. Just to be sure that I can finish it or at least come to the final stage of fulling by the end on the meeting.

This is the one of three, merino 18.5 mic.





Being so short it's more a collar than a scarf actually, so it could be worn as a decorative collar (thanks Jean for a great idea) with a nice brooch. Something like this but I need to make a brooch yet...

We are in December now and I still have some flowers in my garden. Rudbeckias are the bravest and the brightest! I can't resist I "painted" them again, and it's not the end of affair!

Christmas tree

It's time for Christmas trees!
