Cool School Colors (spring basket)

Posted by KnottyladyDesignsShowstoppers on 2/22/2007

Knitting/felting this fun (checkers anyone?) basket was a pleasure for me because my grandson chose his school colors at my local yarn shop. He was eager to have me work with these wool yarns, fun & funky novelty yarns and beads. The base has a welt for added strength & durability & the handle is densely felted & I knitted beads throughtout the top ICORD bind off & the ICord handle for added fun. I look forward to filling it with surprises & giving it to my grandson. Please enjoy! (Made with TLC for Adam & one more for Geoffrey!)

Trendy or traditional ; pretty and petite are perfect adjectives for these gorgeous knitted , felted & needle felted bags. Until I have a bag in the works and complete it; I have never "FELT" this kind of passion for an art form which is not unique to this era but has been handed down though generations and has become more popular for bags, slippers,mittens, scarves and anything that can be knitted with the gorgeous wools on the market along with so many beautiful novelty yarns. I hope that you enjoy looking at my felted pieces as much as I enjoy the whole process from hand spun yarn to kettle dyeing to the final felting process it is a challenging and fulfilling artform. The process of needle felting adds decorative wool 'pictures' to my finished felted pieces & at times gives the piece a three dimentional look. It is a very rewarding process. I have used many mediums and this is one of my favorites because it is like 'PAINTING WITH YARN". My theme bags/totes are exciting to create but I have other artistic creations that I will enjoy sharing with you. Thank You for stopping by. Patricia Maxwell
