Or at least that is how this week seemed to go.
I made my first attempt at needle felting this week. It didn’t go too badly but I know I have a long way to go as well. My first round resulted in snapped needles and a good deal of frustration. The second try with thicker gauge needles seemed to help. Why I decided to needle felt on a 3d object escapes me though.
So a bit of a sneak peek, as these will be on display at The Knitting Nest during the month of October and just in time for a certain yarn crawl 
Gig ‘em, Birdies!
And The All Buttoned Up Nest, dyed with black cherry koolaid then felted.
The big push for this week has been The French Market Bag featured on knitty. At this point I have completed the base increases and am starting the body. I think that it might be a boat before felting.
Ideally I will needle felt veggies and fruit onto the side after felting and use it at the farmer’s market.
Last but not least the Princess Ladybug is growing slowly but surely. I have a few more inches to go in the garter stitch section and I will admit there is an awful lot of garter stitch going on here. I am eagerly looking forward to the stockinette portion on the body so much.
Someone remind me how much I wanted to do stockinette when I am grousing about the two Weasley Sweaters. 
And with that I am off to bed. Night y’all!
