I took a workshop over the summer on making cobweb felt. This beatiful, shear, gossimer felt is amazing to make.
The process of stretching out fiber in a very shear layer and transforming it into fabric is fantastic. Soap, water, wool and friction. Wow, what a result. There are small red beads scattered around the the bottom in little lines. Needed just a little something!This was a birthday gift for Cheryl. One thing she doesn't do yet is make Felt. Yes!! I can do that and I really like it too! Turns out, so does she... So it was a Happy Birthday to her.
More are in the works for Christmas gifts. I was thinking, teacher gifts from the kids. Also my friend Katrina is moving back to Australia in early December, so I will make one for her.More later. I've been a knitting fool. 2 scarves, 1 completed pair of fingerless gloves, 1 nearly complete pair of fingerless drop stitch, gauntlet style gloves (ran out of yarn) and 1 fetching nearly done. Wool/Silk blend... YUM!!

oh you are so good...I think you will be one of the lucky ones who will be sitting back and "knitting for pleasure" while I will be madly completing my Christmas gifts the week before Christmas.
And after seeing the cobweb felt "in person" I can confirm that it's truely lovely. Well done Holly, is there any craft you haven't yet mastered?
Awesome! I love to felt things for my friends as well.
