These past months have yielded dozens of knitted pieces; most of which I designed on the fly. I love to play with strings and sticks and see just what comes of it. This strange approach of mine landed me my first teaching workshop -- felting.
My knitting guild met last night and I was the entertainment. :) The evening was a blast, about 30 women stabbing away at bits of coloured bat, making their first needle-felted balls. Many people got the hang of it very quickly and there were striped, flowered and solid coloured woolen balls all over the tables. One woman brought a felted pin cushion she had made and decorated it with a flower and leaves, people talked of making jewelry, and gifts and there was laughter all around.
Nothing is as grounding and wonderful as time spent with fellow knitters.
My felting workshop was great fun for everyone and I'm teaching two more this month. This is heaven! I will be posting pics of my felting pieces with (at least rough) patterns and instructions as soon as I can.
Happy knitting...El
