Ravelry

I finally got the chance to really sit and read the postings on Ravelry yesterday. So many of the projects are absolutely inspiring. I have so little spare time, but I will have to save a little for this group. There's a lot that it offers. It also makes me realize how small the world is becoming.

Baby Lock Embellisher

The Baby lock embellishers have arrived, and what a great time I am having, needlefelting with it! It's great for applying ribbons, and novelty yarns of all type to just about any fabric, or clothing. I have a machine set up fpr anyone to try out. Feel free to stop on by!

Inklette weaving

Warped inklette loom & finished band

Close up of weaving in progress

My newest obsession, is inkle weaving. The above images are of weaving on the inklette loom, a small portable version of an inkle loom. I can't wait to give my regular size inkle loom a try. If I knew how easy it was to warp an inkle loom, I would have done this years ago. I love to weave handbags of all types, so I see inkle band straps in my future.

Modern Quilt Wrap by Mags Kandis

Lot's of yummy colours will be arriving for this easy to knit wrap. I will be adding a class for mitered knitting, so lot's of us can have fun knitting it. I'm thinking that a pastel version might be a fun choice as well.
