Productivity

Knitting productivity has now been high for the last couple of weeks so I've been having a go at some different crafts. I needle felted this cushion cover and then wet felted it to make it more hard wearing. The background is just needlespunch felt, nothing knitted. It was a piece of Thursday night inspiration.

I also needle felted this lavender design and there are a couple of other things on the go.

I made another felted bag with some yarn from Wingham and a hot water bottle in the same colour. Chunky knitting was easier.

Before hurting my finger I made this other hot water bottle cover from Jeager Matchmaker Merino DK

My father-in-law has requested a jumper so I've made a start in Rowan Donegal Aran Tweed.

I'm very relieved to be on half term holiday. Today I have to attend a speed awareness course due to my slight speed infringement. Better than getting the points I suppose but seems like a terrible waste of a sunny day.
