Chris Felt like Felting
I would also like to mention that it is really advantageous to sew a sole of ultra suede to the bottom of any felted slippers. One to help them NOT slip on the hardwood floors, and two, so that they last 20 times longer (plain ones run through the soles very quickly!)
Now back to our regularly scheduled stress....

Knit an I-cord Necklace
Below are photos (sorry some a bit blurry) of three stitch I-cord. Cast on three stitched (I used 4mm -US6 double point needles - you only need two of them). Knit the first row. WITHOUT turning, slide the three stitches from the left tip of the right needle.....

sack boy
I just finished making this....
I used Alan Dart's Sack Boy pattern, but made a short row knitted mouth from sock yarn and stitched it in place instead of a thin line of embroidery.
Aspen does not like him, but I do!

New yarn and Jewelry design
In the photo are also a couple of necklaces that I made today. The black one is large rings on black fabric, with a pendant that also has a large ring mount. The tan one is hemp string knit in a three stitch I-cord, strung with rings and a pendant that came with lots of charms attached.
Still knitting like a maniac to finish gifts, but one big hurdle is done and I have packaged the gifts for far away relatives and they are going in the post today!
Getting there...
