On my hook is an afghan pattern by Lisa from Holland Designs.
Super easy one row repeat. Excellent texture and squish.

Challenged myself to make a wet felted 3-D object. So I made a pod! It took about 5 hours, and was fun to do! Might embellish it, but maybe not. 😁☀️

Getting there, not sure whether to leave the imperfections or try and smooth them out somehow. #embroidery #fibreart #sun #helios #craft

This is my “learner” bag — with it, I learned how (and how not!) to crochet a sturdy, functional, cutie drawstring bag. Mistakes and all, I love it! 😃✨

Sweater made from the #first yarn I ever dyed myself. All wool local and #handspun, white and grey natural colours, pink dyed with local elderberries, salt and vinegar. More vivid and colourfast then expected! 😁

But at least I got another #stabby project done. My daughter called dibs on this one & asked for it to have a purple & teal rug.

The weird way my #creative brain works, I was looking at the #reptile exhibition at zoo, took a photograph and pondered, yes, you could do a unique crosstitch in that pattern belonging to that #lizard ... #fiberart #fibreart #embroidery #creativity #reptiles

This is going to be the the start of something sun themed, as always recycling fabric so I have to be flexible about what I can do... #fibreart #feltwork #craft #embroidery
