haha. so I was going to go to type 'blogger.com' to make my post, but my fingers were in the wrong spots and I totally started typing 'flogger' instead. I don't think I even want to know what that might be.

so anyway. I finished my felted marsupial tote! I'm so excited. it came out super-perfect. I LOOOOOVE how WotA felts. this is absolutely the nicest, densest piece of fabric ever, with perfectly non-existant stitch definition. mmm... felty heaven. =D it still needs a shave, but it's all dry and blocked to a very lovely rectangle. the only problem: I hung it on a skirt hanger to dry last night, and instead of being smart and using the bar type, I used the type with two clips... yeah, so I've got some marks permanently embedded on the corners. but DO YOU THINK I CARE? HECK NO! haha. anyway, enough blabber, on to the pictures.

here it is, blocking with some VHS tapes... =P

parade of WIPs!









okay, here we go.
I figured that if I posted these out in public, maybe I'd have motivation to pick some of them back up and finish them. heh.

from top to bottom, we have Falling Leaves in KnitPicks Sock Garden in morning glory (which, despite all that work and already having frogged them like three times, may be getting frogged again... I don't have the right needle size for my foot, and I thought these might work okay, but it's just too big), a random 1x1 ribbon hat in Lion Incredible Blue Shades, Topsecret in Bernat Mirage in Regal Hues, the start of a Kate, which is getting modified into a Catbert for the boy (hence the awful red acrylic), Grace, which has not grown at all since my previous post, Branching Out, which after three repeats I'm very bored with, have no use for, and will probably rip out, my Felted Marsupial Tote from S'nB which is getting done in KnitPicks Wool of the Andes in spruce and avocado, and my Ravenclaw book scarf, 1x1 rib version, also in WotA in winter night and maple syrup.

so yeah. let's all cheer me on for all these, especially the ones I have to have the heart to frog. bleah.
