I have spent a LOT of today making a large felt vessel using some of my new Icelandic wool and thankfully the weather improved enough in the afternoon for photographing so I am at last starting to put it up for sale on Etsy. In order to have less shrinkage than normal I used Anna Gunnersdottir’s method [...]

This morning as promised I was able to take a photo of my completed rug! I know that this type of angled shot distorts the shape somewhat but I think that it is quite obvious how the sky area has shrunk more from left to right than the bottom section demonstrating clearly that the way we [...]

An amazing coincidence happended the other evening (was going to say occurred but not sure that the spelling is correct!). Just before I checked out my account on Ravelry, an online fibre artist community, I happened to pick up a glass bracelet that I bought myself on Murano two years ago. My sisters and I took my [...]
