Felt applique christmas ornaments

23 Sep

With the summer tempertures reaching close to a billion degrees, I haven’t really been doing much knitting. I’ve been sticking with embroidery. Once I finished up all of the towel projects that I had put together, I was looking for something else to work on until it cooled off.

I actually got these felt applique ornaments 6 or 7 years ago. I had made some of them, but then I discovered knitting and I haven’t worked on them since. Well, I finished off two packs of them.

There are these cute bears

and these sequins ornaments.

They look nice and my goal is to eventually have nothing but hand made (or heirloom) ornaments on my tree.

I’m also really pleased to have finished up two packets of projects. I just need to finish up the other 3 packets of felt applique now. At least I’m almost half way finished with them.

Unfortuately the temperature has now dropped below 90 so I’ve started knitting again. Maybe I’ll get the rest finished next summer.

Learning to crochet

23 Sep

So after 5 years of knitting, I finally decided that it was time to learn to crochet. My first project was a scarf of crochet flowers.

Crochet turned out to be pretty easy, but I can see how it would be difficult to crochet with any type of textured yarn. I am looking forward to making some nice open mesh sweaters.
