Finished objects...again!

Yeah, I really need to start writing in this thing, but I'm suffering from an inferiority complex of sorts. I just can't think of anything to write that would be remoting interesting. Bah.

So here are some finished objects!

The first, a striped felted back from One Skein. This is knit in Knitpicks Wool of the Andes, or maybe the Peruvian, I can't remember. Anyway, it was a quit knit and my first felting project and it turned out great!

Before felting:














After it's trip in the washer with some dishsoap and hot water. I think it took about 10 minutes to shrink.














Next up, a pair of thrummed mitts -- in one weekend! This is Fleece Artist wool and roving in purpley browns, but I used the thrummed mitt pattern from Interweave Knits, which was much easier and much quicker and I totally loved the way the thumbs were worked.

Finished mitts!














The inside! Sorry about the crappy pics -- losing light quickly.














Ha -- I may have made those thrums a wee bit too long....
