I am trying to find a pic that someone sent to me of little knitted Willy's to show Lynne....they were so cute. Does anyone remember seeing the picture, it was the day we saw the naughty gnomes??

Okay, where on earth did you get the recipe for the mouse? I'm growing catnip and I have a little kitty that is really going to need a catnip-stuffed mouse. There are obviously some talented crochet-ers here!

Small animal makers.. I should have thought of this sooner. If you go to crochetpatterncentral.com there are tons of small animal patterns. There are tons of patterns period!

Just finished sewing together my first knit lapblanket. It's perfect for placing over my lap while being on the computer here, and blocks all the drafts from under the desk - somehow the wire connections through the wall create a very cold draft.
I wish I had more of the center color - I really like this combination!

Very pretty Lynne. How long did that take you to make! Love the color combination!

Angie - back attcha! Your paintings are awesome!
Thanks all!
Triss - I'm not really sure how long it took, since it was done in 3 pieces over time. I do know that the center piece only took a day, but I was working very quickly and deliberately on it - it was the first, and at first I thought I was going to use it as a baby blanket to donate to Warm Up America, but I liked the color soooo much that I decided to keep it for myself, and substituted a different yarn to donate.
The 2 purple pieces probably took a few days each, not working on it as much each day.
The whole thing is done in the seed stitch, which is simply knit 1, pearl 1, knit 1, pearl 1, etc... Reversed on the back row...
I think I'm going to attempt to crochet a small ripple blanket next - Triss - do they usually go pretty quickly?

I think they do as far as blankets go. I did both of Vanessa's twin sized ones in what 4 months of on and off work, more off than on. I am about halfway done with Dan's lap blanket and have been working on it, again more off than on, for less than a month. For me and afghans that is fast work. For you it may seem a lot slower but I never do one thing straight from beginning to end.

I've updated my knitting journal with my latest project - a knitted, felted bowl. It's a long post with a bunch of pictures, so I won't copy it here, but if you are interested you can click on "Lynne's knitting journal" in my sig. line.
I'm having problems getting a clear shot of the finished bowl - for some reason this camera simply will not take a clear shot of it - wonder why?

Here is the best picture I could get of the finished bowl - I took it out on the front porch this morning - I don't know why I'm having such difficulty photographing it!

Okay, don't yell at me, but what is the bowl for? And does it always retain that shape? And how did you get it to stay there, in that shape, starch? *beside's dryin' it with the bowl on it*
I do love the color of that though!!!

uhhhhhhh - it was an interesting thing to make? I enjoy making and felting items? It's decorative? It helped keep me from going out of my mind for a few moments???
When wool is felted, and dried on a shape, it usually keeps that shape. The yarn becomes like felt fabric, and is pretty strong. No starch or anything else is used.
It can be used to hold any number of things - use your imagination!
