A lovely basket, knitted/felted with a green base with welt for durability & a densely felted I Cord handle kniitted & then added before the felting process began. The loveliness of this basket is emphasized by the many tiny novelty yarn flowers which look like a lilac garden in the spring. This basket will be used for a baby shower & I knitted very soft baby washcloths in pastel colors to insert into this basket. There will be five pastel cotton washcloths when the knitting is completed. They stick out from the top of the basket looking like petals on a flower. There are so many uses for these lovely baskets. Enjoy this Garden Party!

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
