November knitting

I submitted 5 entries to Fabrications IV: Fibers and Finery at Crossings at Carnegie. The acceptance email came Thursday, and I can bring in other things as well, if I choose. I submitted 4 knitted and fulled items, and one of my large felted vessels. The pictures are not the best. DH suggested that the color of our table is not a good background. I've noticed that our camera does funny things with pinks.




I am still working on the hats. They are a lot of work. One I made with random leftovers that I had. I took it off the needles but I'm not sure I'm done knitting yet. The other hat is 6 colors with lots of stripes. It is a bit complicated in construction, but I am almost done with the knitting part and will be able to piece it together soon. Meanwhile I have gotten a load of felting books from the library (thank you Interlibrary Loan System), and I am trying to generate some felting (not fulling) ideas to try when I get these hats completed. There are so many things to explore. I love doing vessels, but I may try some felted hats as well. Maybe I should take a class before I try it.
