I think that felted slippers are an excellent idea. I'll look into that!<BR/><BR/>Oh Fennie, what a shame about the unfinished coat. I wonder if someone you know would pick it up and re-make it for you.<BR/><BR/>LWB, we had driving wind and snow here just a few days ago. I'm sure your snow will melt quickly, though. <BR/><BR/>I'm with you, WW, when it comes to itchy sweaters. They're nearly torture to endure, and that's what you inevitably end up doing, just enduring until you can rip it off and be rid of it.Wooly Workshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08310287894682760233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538807893779495097.post-53584547046346609422008-03-24T14:46:00.000-06:002008-03-24T14:46:00.000-06:00You are so dedicated and talented!

I'm afraid I don't have the patience - I have would you believe sitting in a cupboard for perhaps thee past ten years a half finished long cardigan knitted by my mother-in-law from the combings of my first Newfoundland dog. Unfortunately she ran out of wool before she finished the coat which really should, I suppose, be unpicked and made into something smaller, but I haven't the heart to do that and not the sill to blend another wool into the garment and so finish the facings, not that I think I would be up to that anyway.<BR/>But the wool is so beautiful and soft and brown, despite the dog himself being black.Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538807893779495097.post-31564575402458014242008-03-24T14:01:00.000-06:002008-03-24T14:01:00.000-06:00Oooo can imagine how horrible that was when you re...Oooo can imagine how horrible that was when you realised that the yarn was too itchy. I have had to return lots of jumpers and cardigans because I simply could not wear them . . . you think you can . . .but ooooo no . . itching just thinking about it.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps Spring will burts forth rather than Spring when things warm up.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to seeing the Teddies and animals you choose to make.Westerwitch/Headmistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08956764463959607416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538807893779495097.post-88777374484450262462008-03-24T13:13:00.000-06:002008-03-24T13:13:00.000-06:00What if you make that same sweater in a cardigan, ...What if you make that same sweater in a cardigan, and maybe line it, too, with flannel or some light material?

The were decorated with felted ears - one a mouse, and the other a bunny - with embroidered faces. The cuffs were knit with pink ribbing. Maybe something like that would work for your wool. Would you post photos of the rose sweater when it is completed?Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.com
