Announcing ...

Hi everyone,
I'd like to announce the opening of my own little Etsy shop. Come check out Mountain Knits at www.mountainknits.etsy.com.

Right now I have quite a few baby hats and some of the felted wool bowls that I've been having so much fun making. They're fun to knit, fun to felt, and I love the colors of the yarns. I'd love to have you stop by and see. Don't feel obligated to buy something...that's not why I'm giving you the head's up. But if you like what you see I'd just love if you would tell others about it. Thanks!

This bowl is the first one I've done using Cascade 220. The color is Burnt Orange. It's also the first wider, shallower bowl I've done. I really like how it came out. I also made a 4"x4" swatch and felted that at the same time...It was interesting to see how much more it shrank in height than width. Now I want to do a swatch in Lamb's Pride to see if the same sort of difference happens. I know that it will probably shrink more in height than width, but this was so dramatic to watch with the Cascade 220, I wonder if it will be such a dramatic difference with the Lamb's Pride. With the bowl, I was afraid it was going to shrink more in height before i got the width shrunk like I wanted it! But it worked out fine.
