And another Ravelympics project completed; my WIPs-Dancing entry, the orangutan, is finished a mere 2-1/2 years from when I started it. It feels very strange to know that he's not sitting in the stash of yarns, fibers, and patterns waiting to be worked on.In other news, the books I won from Chea Pet arrived yesterday, hooray! One is "Home Knits" by Suss Cousins, and the other is "Felt" by Robyn Steel-Stickland. I've thumbed through them both several times already, and am getting some project ideas from them. I haven't done much felting before--just a couple little cat toys which have long since disappeared--but I feel rather inspired by the book.
Hermione update: I have more than 60 rows done. She's got complete eyes now, and I'm about mid-way down the cheek. Updated photo pending.
I love the monkey! So cute!What yarn did you use to get the furry quality. It's really nice. Is he a present to someone?
ReplyDeleteI just love that felt book. Mine is pretty much dog-eared. The suss cousin knit book is cool, but I am always enraptured by pretty pictures. LOL
You are kicking butt on Hermione! Can't wait to see her finished!
The orangutan is a combination of handspun alpaca/corriedale held together with a strand of copper eyelash. After all this time, there is no way I'm giving him away, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI made my nephew the same monkey, several years ago. Yours is very cute!!!!!
