Back in California

Here I am again, and by the time I left rain has stopped and the garden has bloomed. How gorgeous!

As promised here are two pics of my home-made booga bag, I'm so proud of the felting! Unfortunately I didn't take any pic of the bag before the process, how silly! But as you can see the results are pretty nice.

I have used 3 skeins of NORO KUREYON #154. While I was knitting it I couldn't help thinking how lousy the wool was. Itchy and irregular. But, after the felting, the result were simply amazing, the texture was softer, elastic, furry. How lovely! I wouldn't recommend Noro Kureyon for a sweater but it is simply great for fulling! :-)

LATE! LATE! LATE!

Dear All,
once again pardon me for my disappearance lately. I've been stuck in northern France to take care of my mom, without Internet connection for the last 2 months (can you imagine it?!). Here everything is beautiful and peaceful, but I missed the whole crochet community and you blog friends!!! I'll be back in Frisco in a couple of days and there I'll be able to post and to share with you my (little) progresses. For now I can tell you that I successfully made a booga bag! :-D and a friend of mine gave me the whole wool stash of her granny who passed away last year. A bunch of wool balls in many many colors. I'll finally be able to make a beautiful blanket, I hope.
Lots of love to everybody!
