snagged a half-price book

you know, as much as i love the process of crochet, as often as not, crochet produces what i would consider sad results. i have tried to outrun that reality by turning to amigurumi or hiding the crochet stitches in more complicated combos like the scallop, but then i found a felted crochet book and my little snakey-heart leaped!

felting ERASES crochet sadness by blurring it into chenille. this book had simple projects that looked so soft and velvety, so fuzzy and simple, i ran out and bought some nice new wool and started a sample square last night. :D

so, put felting on the list along with the beading thing.
FACT: i need more knit-lunches per week!

oh, btw...enjoy this.
