So far: The secret message wool is crocheted alongside my handspun. Now I am waiting for some wine coloured fleece to line it. It will be blanket stitched around, and finished with a purple shell button to fasten with the loop.
I'm not overjoyed with this. I liked it until I saw it in the photo. I still like the sky but I never could get perspective right. I shall continue to look at other folks' work and try to improve my own.
Leather outer with needle felted inner pocket/pins and needles sleeve.
Needlefelted Christmas Tree decoration. My second one, and it's turned out better than the first one.
Golden Retriever fur spun by spinweaver, plied with cat fur provided by lej619, spun by myself. It's very soft!
The cat fur was tricky at first, but then went rather well. It plied well with the dog and I look forward to crocheting it into the middle of a square for my blanket.
I thoroughly enjoyed making this. I experimented with stitches and particularly liked the open chain stitch. This was so much fun that I joined a Kit Group on Swap-Bot, and look forward to swapping more kits!
This was a gift because I angelled a swap for Kicki. Very kind of you, Kicki thankyou!
With the knitted blank Rachel and I dyed, and my handspun (including sparkly angelina) we have the ingredients for Rachel's scarf and hat set. I have started and it's gooooooorrrrrgeous.

Spun yesterday morning. Initially I decided I wasn't friends with merino any more. Then it ended up like this and I love it.
Rachel (6) and I dyed this knitted length using Kool-Aid. Firstly we dyed it pink, then splodged cherry over it, then wrote the message in blue. It will be re-knitted into mittens and a hat for her. I am going to spin some sparkly pink to ply with it first.
She can't wait for the sparkly bits to be added and for it to be knitted into some goodies for her.
