woolly goodness......

a few weeks ago I made a felted jumper blanket from three jumpers I had picked up in the op shop and felted in the washing machine {with a few little cream squares thrown in for good luck}...... I have to say it's lovely and cosy and I am enjoying having in on the sofa {and quite frequently over my knees} during the cold weather we are having 'down south'.........

but I saw another idea for cut up felted blankets/sweaters here and thought, 'ooooohhh, now I need to look out for some colourful jumpers when I am in the op shops'......

here's a little peek from my poppet's blog.......


it's rather jolly isn't it....... I don't own an ipad but still, it's the idea isn't it..... lovely colours looking happy together.......

my weekend was partly taken up with crocheting another pair of wristwarmers...... this time for the boy...... and this time in grey...... a little bit bleh, but his choice so I am going with it....... any request for handmade from my boy is a pleasure to be getting on with as requests are quite rare....

I also spent some time crocheting more roses...... which are a quick little project, perfect for wintery evenings snuggled on the sofa under my cosy blanket..... {making sure I have the BIG lights on so that I can see what I am doing...... }
