Finished the cassis on Thanksgiving and I love wearing it.
Thanks to my Urban Sheep peeps who helped me along the way. Seems I like to misread instructions here and there.

Felted flower bowl

This is my first felting project. These are the before pictures. I will felt it this weekend and post the felted pictures. This is called "Felted Flower Bowl" by MegMarie. The pattern can be found here.
I made the following changes: I used size 11 needles and two strands of yarn. I used leftover wool. I frogged it a couple of times. Use markers to keep your place!!!
I made the color changes at: rows 1-9 multi-color; 10-16 brown; 17-22 green; 23-28 tan.
Come back next week to see the felted bowl.
It took 3 attempts to felt the bowl. First attempt was at the yarn shop. The water never got HOT. Only tepid. So I went home and used my front loader. I placed it again in a pillow case and added a Keen sandal to the washer with a little liquid Ivory. It felted much better on round 2. I put it back in again for round 3 and was happy with the results.

Waffle stitch baby blanket

I made this blanket for baby William (Bo) who was born at the end of October. It was an easy pattern to knit. It is called Waffle Preemie Blanket and can be found here. I made the medium size. I used size 7 circular needles to accommodate all the stitches. I used 6 skeins of Cascade Yarns "Pacific" in the colorway of 66. It is a blue/green with specks of yellow and turquoise. It is very soft.



And I found this pix on Facebook. Grandpa and Bo, with my blanket covering him :)
