Thanks! I mostly make blankets. My friends pay for the yarn and then I make one for them. Keeps me busy instead of drinking!

I still can’t knit or crochet, but I have been felting. Needle felting at first, then I felted soap for Xmas presents.

Finally finished my first hand embroidery project. I covered the back in dark blue felt to cover up the thread and added a lace ribbon on the side of the embroidery hoop to add some decoration. This one is a gift to my mom.
Now onto the next project. I bought a kit recently off of amazon. Wanted to do one for our bedroom so thought this was cute.

Love the needle work!
Felting isn’t really difficult, but it is a practice in patience.
@Claire_quit2 yeah ouch! And even though I have finger protection, I never use them like a dumb dumb

@Butterflymoonwoman beautiful! I need to get my kit out, too! But I have too many projects right now.
@Sober_Ninja love the felt work!
I’ll post my current WIP and completed one later on, since my husband is wearing his at work!

I had a half knitted sweater that I wasn’t happy with but was determined to finish (pre-recovery) and recently I “frogged it,” aka ripped it out. It was one of the more cathartic things I’ve done, I salvaged the yarn for a future project and was able to let it go. A big deal for me!
I’m excited to hear more about your pink cloud project.
And cute patches!

Omg, I love felting (I don’t do it, but I have been collecting some, literally was just perusing etsy for a little woodland creature). I adore these! Especially the mushrooms, we are in fungi ville here and mushrooms like this pop up! So creative!! Is it as challenging as it looks?
I love your new love design @Butterflymoonwoman !! And your Mom is lucky for the lovely gift.
@Claire_quit2 , this is so cool, great work. We used to do this in high school back in the 70s. Nice to see it again, brings back sweet memories I had forgotten.

It really isn’t too challenging. I was thinking about making a little video of me doing it. It’s really just stabbing something over and over again. Therapeutic.

Ooohhhh, that sounds very therapeutic indeed! 
If you do a video, please share. My niece made me this gift…which I adore…
And @englishd was with me when I scored this cutie in Asheville at a felters dream store (where I need to visit again)…

Lovely stuff @Claire_quit2 @Sober_Ninja @SassyRocks
Here are a couple of felted mice my Mami gave me once upon a time. They’re meant to be ornaments but I haven’t found a spot to hang them. I love their little outfits.

I have a rather long list of requests for knitted winter items from friends and family, especially these fingerless mitts/gloves. They’re the most requested and sometimes I make them fancy with cables and intarsia knit, but I need to keep these simple. First pair are some I made for my husband and the second in progress is for my brother. I’ll swap the main color with the stripe color on the matching mitt.

I really need to sit down and do some you tubing to figure out how to knit/ crochet. These are so fun!

It’s incredibly satisfying! I’ve been knitting since I was a teen, but after taking long breaks I know it takes some time to get the muscles in your hands and the motions to feel more natural. Lots of long skinny scarves to practice!
