I think I blogged about teaching a series of Recycled Sweater Crafts classes in the local libraries this month. Well, they’re going gangbusters, and lots of fun.
In these classes, I offer a choice of three simple projects to make from felted (or fulled, potato potahto) sweaters. And this little guy is the runaway favorite. I’m telling you, it’s those Doll Buttons. It’s all about the Doll Buttons.
Oh – and my pattern has ears for a bear, cat, or dog, so people can customize.)
We also do this little business card case, which I quite like. I was talking with a youth librarian about an upcoming version of this class we’re doing for teens, and we decided to re-christen this as a “cell phone case” for them. My cell fits in it! Cool!
The third project is a neckwarmer, which I haven’t photographed yet.
Q: How do you know you’re a blogger in Portland, Oregon in January?
A: Every time the sun comes out, the first thing you do is run for your camera and photograph as many things for your blog as you can think of, to carry you through all the gray days in between.
Happy Weekend, all!
