And the knit goes on!

Working on designing the first of four sweaters for some of my nieces.  "Kat" loves pink.  The sweater is pink.  Whoa, what was I thinking when I decided to do this without a pattern?  I'm STILL waiting for size stats from my sister on this sweater.  Maybe it would be a good idea to push for all the size information for the other three while I'm at it.

Still working on the new pattern for Fedora's.  OH! Didn't I mention that?  I've made felted hats for several years now and am working with a brand spankin new pattern for a fedora style hat.  First one came out beautifully shaped but the fabric is too soft to hold the shaping as one would need for such a hat.  BUMMER.

So back to the drawing board on that hat.  I'm going to try using two strands together and see if that
will give the hat more body.  As for the first one, I'll try felting it again and see if it shrinks a bit more.  If it does, I can try making a fedora tea cosy out of it.  I have another five hats of the round, curled brim variety that didn't felt properly, well, the felted but they didn't shrink.  Currently brainstorming with Me, Myself and I to figure out how to re purpose them and what to make them into.  Tea cosies were at the top of that list, but they're way too big for that as yet.  If all else fails, I can cut them up to make decorative floral pieces for other hats.

So that's where my week begins.  It remains to be seen how it ends.  Wish me luck!
