I must be the world's worst blogger. I came home on Thursday evening after Gerda's wonderful felting day, intending to post photos right away. It always amazes me that everyone always makes such different felted creations.

This time, the participants made a beautiful brightly coloured bag, a length of fabric to make into a stylish cushion and a pretty and practicle teacosy.

Its unbelievable that they made these beautiful objects in just a few hours despite being complete beginners to felting.

Gerda showed us a selection of her beautiful scarves at the beginning of the day.

Claire's Design Day

On Friday I hosted another of Claire's design workshops. This was the third part of her design course which concentrated on more unusual and imaginative ways of constructing garments such as knitting from the top down, or side to side and different styles of sleeves. Participants found the day inspirational and left with lots of ideas for their next knitting projects.
