Any knitters/crocheters/felters?
I know there are a bunch of you ladies that knit/crochet/felt. I'm just curious about what you're working on. Maybe we could create a knitters/crocheters/felters club!?
My mom got me some supplies this Christmas, and I'm making a scarf out of this simple yarn she got me!

I can't wait until I'm finished! Hopefully I can get it done before my semester starts up!

Good Morning!!
I've been knitting for a couple years now (mostly scarves), but have been wanting to try some new projects. I just started this one:
http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/L0243AD.html
It doesn't seem too difficult, it's just going to be time-consuming. (The k1, p1 takes me a bit to really get moving on). I love lurking on the Crafts board to see everyone's projects -- they help keep me motivated!

I just learned how to knit! I'd been trying for like a month and was doing something wrong and finally figured it out yesterday, I was so excited, hehe. I just started a baby blanket for my MOH, she's due in april. (Blanket is clicky)
I'm not doing any of their colors, I don't care for any of them. I picked out some not pastely but not bright colors either. She's not into pink, and it's a girl, hehe, so there is pink but blue and other colors too. I've got the first 2 rows knitted!
I give you all a lot of credit for knitting blankets! I don't think I'd have the patience for that! I love making hats! But the yarn I got for Christmas isn't what I'd make a hat out of.
I also belong to Ravelry.com, they have some really cute patterns on there!
I crochet and I do it semi-frequently. I love making scarves, hats and little pin on appliques (like flowers). I've thought about picking up knitting, but it seems soooo slow compared to crocheting. My favorite go-to-gift is like a mini-scarf (I kind of made it up myself, but I've seen them posted on crocheting sites, so they might have name) - its like half the length of a scarf, but a bit wider, and with a big button or two, so it snuggly and securely stays around your neck. I can crank one out in like 2 hours, doing doubles with 2 strands going at the same time. And they are super cute, especially with a big unique button.
The book Happy Hooker is the best, along with you tube videos when I have trouble with a new stitch.
I also took a class on felting with a few friends and I loved it, but I haven't done anything. My girl friend went crazy with it though and makes the coolest things!!
This is the little snowman I felted for my sister's addition to her family (that'll be coming in April!). Since they don't know what they are having, I thought a frog hat was suitable.
Diana: Adorable!
Felting is ridiculously easy, but there is definitely an art to it, kind of like sculpting, but its a little more forgiving then clay and paint. Not sure what your area is like, Michelle, but we found a spot in town that does a lot of "crafty" afternoon classes, so for like $30 bucks we spent the afternoon doing a lot of work with wool, including felting.
I wish I had pictures of my friends stuff, she made this big owl once, my jaw hit the floor.

Felting is so much fun but also very time consuming!! And isn't a good mix with animals (I've had a few people say their's have gotten dipped in waterbowls).
My latest project?
