felted roll brim hat


This was one of the most easy projects I have done. I used Lambs pride Burgundy yarn for this project.

felted purse


I didn't follow the directions but I still think it came out just fine. I sold it to a gal at work for $30.

Welcome to 'Crazy about Knitting and Ferrets

I welcome you to my very first blog. So please bare with me as I get started with this. I am sure I have alot to learn with having a blog.
My name is Michele and I have been knitting for about a year and a half. I love to knit and felt purse, knit dish cloths, and I am attemting my second pair of fingerless gloves. I have made a felted roll brim hat that came out great.

I am also a lover of ferrets. I am owned by 6. I added 2 more to the family in the last week that are 8 and 9 weeks old. Their names or in order of age: Pixie, Pan, Pablo, Pedro, Peanut, and Penny. They are most definately a handfull. But I love them way to much to ever get angry with them when I forget to put up my knitting and they get a hold of my clover needles and chew them up.

I have been married for going on 19 years with no human children. I also have 5 cats, 1 dog, and 1 rat (don't ask).

We are living in the county of Kansas and today I watched a rooster Pheasant run around in a wheat field just across the road from me. And I saved a ground squirrel from my cat and took it back to the hole it came out of. And the mocking birds are back for a third year to drive me crazy with its calls of many different sounding birds they can do, (all day).

My garden is planted and I have put in the ground 4 tomato plants, 2 bell peppers, 2 cucumbers, 1 zucchini, and 1 canalope. Now I am hoping for a good year for it. Here in the western part of Kansas it will get up to the 100's and the wind blow, and blows. Sucking the life out of everything. And rain is sparse at times here as well.

I work in corrections for a all male medium facility in Colorado. I have been the recreation supervisor for about 6 years and in all I have worked there for 8 1/2 years. Not a bad job. It's like working in a preschool for adualt men, (trust).

I hope you like my blog and leave good feed back to let me know. Share your blogs with me.
