Using gorgeous organic yarn in wool & soy I knitted & feltd this lovely vase with picot top edge. It is 9 inches high & the base is 5 inches across. Fun to knit & felt & there are many uses for this vase. You can insert a plastic or glass container and use the felted vase for cut flowers or in your office, bathroom, guestroom with silk felted flowers added. Pencils, knitting needles & many other uses-use your imagination. I used double stands of wool yarn to make a more densely felted vase. Enjoy! I will be shaving the vase when it dries & adding a flower created with roving & beading. If you use a solid yarn you can add novelty yarns to this pattern. It will be a fun gift for someone special. Enjoy! Check out the photo with the top edge because the pink is so dense and gorgeous!

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
