Felted Fairisle

I'm sure I've shown you before my knitting with tapestry wool that then gets bunged in the wash...well here is my largest piece to date. The wool was very kindly given to me by a friend who had been given it by a friend who...well you get the idea, it was a mish-mash bag of bits, some of which had already started to felt themselves! Anyway it's nearly all gone and look what it's become! I knitted a panel and then just knitted two together at both edges of the right-side row until I got a point. I washed the panel a couple of times with the other laundry and then backed the whole panel with a lovely soft green tweed which came from the guild bring and buy. The only thing I bought was the handle which is actually half of a pair. I'm not convinced that the bag's up to heavy use but I do like it,as so, I think would Miss Marple!

Thanks to all of you who have signed up for the mug swap. A particularly HUGE thank you to Kitty who made me this ace button for the swap out of the goodness of her heart- well not literally-how macabre! If you are part of the swap and would like the button just ask! I have also set up a Flickr group so that we can share what we receive in one place. It might be nice to wait until your recipient has got their mug before you put up any pics to keep the surprise for them. I would also like to add a blog roll in my sidebar for all of you who have blogs, please let me know if this is a problem. Anyone else who would like to join has until the end of today, tomorrow I will randomly pick who we'll all be sending to and mailing out names- Can't wait!
