Over easter I made this mobile pouch. My daughter needed one quick (mobiles without a cover are very prone to injury as you probably well know) so she chose some wool from my left over yarn stash and out with the big needles. Felting is one of my favourite techniques and the soft shell around… Continue reading Felted mobile pouch, huovutettu kännykkäkotelo

This blue throw will some day adorn our flowery sofa. * Joku käsityö pitää aina olla helposti jatkettavissa silloin kun suunnittelee seuraavia. Neulottu… Continue reading Woollen throws, neulottuja peitteitä
