A little finger knitting...

can go a long way ;)
For a while now I have been collecting all sorts of balls of wool and really textured threads. I use them for doll making, scrapbooking and all sorts of other things. I wanted to make something that used up a lot of them together for two reasons 1) the textures and colours together are gorgeous and 2) because well I just have too many and need to use them up. I thought I might try knitting something but I tell you I am hopeless and always will be lol. I am left handed and could never find anyone to teach me so I tryed finger knitting some. I loved how they turned out and decided to plait many threads together to make thicker cords and them when I had enough I got my sewing machine and started sewing them down onto felt. So now I have the beginings of a great fluffy rug. It is quite a fast and fun project to do and it feels great under your feet, now I only need anout 6 more of these panels to finish off a decent size rug and then I will back it will something a little heavier. If I don't brake too many needles in my machine (I have broken 2 already) I should have it completed pretty quickly. I really need to stop starting new projects, I am getting side tracked from study but it's loads of fun.



I am also in the middle of editing 9 scrapbook pages I completed over the last couple days, I'm on a roll and can't stop, it's nice to have new photos to have fun with.

Must go now I have a couple friends and their little girls coming up for the day, should be fun a house full of squeeling girls.

Take care
