itchy hooker

I'm skritching away in a 30% alpaca sweater... I didn't realise alpaca made me itch (my alpaca collarette doesn't) but I'm not taking it back to the shop. It's too nice.

I may only be online sporadically for the next I don't know how long, so I apologise in advance. I'm having a few problems at home (nothing to do with the boy), so that impacts on the internet. Don't ask me how, it just does.

As requested, here are some pics of the felty fun I've been having over the last few days. The cuffs are recovered from my first two attempts to make a 3-D felted bowl, so my failures aren't all utterly hopeless, yay!Both cuffs.Claret and teal cuff... needs a name.Blue and green cuff... also needs naming!"Seafoam" felt square (part of a diptych if that's the right word?)"Firedancer" felt rectangle (still wet in this pic, looks a lot better now!)

Offtopic, I'd just like to bring this >LINK< to your attention. As a horse lover, I get the fugly horse of the day to my igoogle every day, and this link to Tessa's Ordeal really upset me. I'm not going to lie, there are some horrible pictures of a mule with human-inflicted injuries, but it really is worth reading. Horse-loving friends across the pond, please read FHOTD and don't buy a horse from any of the people she rants about!

Sorry to be maudlin, normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
