Into my world

A small glimpse into my room. I love collecting boxes and trinkets. I love pictures and memories on the right you see a black and white picture of my cousins and I, as bridesmaids on our grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. I will show you other parts of my room as well you can see where my inspiration comes from (all over the walls) and how I keepmy art supplies ( basicly everywhere as well.)

Also you can see Tibby my Blythe she's a big inspiration as well as is the entire dollie world. It's a part of me that wants to get my childhood back and escape into the lovely world of toys and trinkets again.

Blythe Hat .... This is my first project with the felting wool I found at Veritas. It takes some getting used to to crochet with this stuff since it raffles easily and your hook gets stuck between the thread instead of over it but once I got the hang of it It was amzing.

But the magic of felting wool truelly happens when you felt it. The wrapper said machine felting but I prefer the look of hand felting more so off I went got my basin, hot water, marseille soap and a towel and I started felting the hat. This was the result of felting for half an hour, but I could have gotten it more smooth if I felting a little bit longer. But I wanted the crochet feeling to stick for a bit so half an hour felting was all I needed.

I can make around 2 hats out of one ball of this yarn by 'schachemayr nomotta' And the price was very okay too. Being a student I do try to think about my wallet!

I already crochet a second one with multicolored wool so keep your eyes open on a second one of these.
