Good morning all - I hope you are all feeling fine on this wonderful Wednesday!
Lots to look at on my table today....
On the right is the gorgeous pure wool sweater which I bought from our local car boot and felted in the washing machine. Below it you can see some little brooches which I am making from small squares cut from the sweater. Also I have made a little purse for my camera.
In the middle is the pale turquoise hoodie that I have been knitting for P. I just have the zip to put in and then I am going to embroider some cream daisies down the front.
I also decided to knit another shrug using Sirdar Crofter - I love the colours.
The little lilac brooch was made using woollen fabric and yarns with a beaded centre.
And finally.... this is the little bag made from the lower part of the re-cycled sweater. I love the colours and patterns and think it looks great with the little wooden handles. It will probably go in the blog shop with my other bags.Hope you have enjoyed your weekly snoop.
If you want to see more WOYWW exposed then hop over to Julia's blog and join in the fun!
PS for a close up of my sock dolls on the window sill, check out the post below!

What an amazing talent you have. I never thought washing a sweater was called felting and that you could make things out of it. Great creations! Linda C #86

Lovely idea...I saw a couple pumpkins made for different textured sweaters the other day and they were lovely!
Some lovely items you have on your desk. I'm a newbie to the WOYWW so please be gentle with me!! Best wishes, Kym (No 42)
Nearly midnight here, so it's been a long day. I expect you are cosy in your bed by now after a busy day at your work bench.
Love recycling! beautiful bag!
Now that's 1st class recycling! So many things remade from one item, well done!
Oh I'm so late again - had to go back a bit to meet the sock creatures - I think Betsy, mooching about, may well be my new best friend! That sweater is a gift of a find, perfect for all the jobs you've set it - love the colours.
