I used to crochet doilies with my grandmother as well as table clothes... which seemed to take forever to make. I loved the feel of the thin cotton strands and the rythm of the stitching. My eyesight isn't what it was back then but I do a few doilies now and then. I feel her presence when ever I pick up the thread and hooks. I have been eyeing a runner I have on a table and thinking I should make something to go with it one of these days.

I am also into fibre art, textile design and sewing. Felting is my latest interest along with painting and dying fabrics. I mostly dye using things like tea, coffee, berries... stuff like that. I don't have much money for materials so I recycle stuff I pick up at thrift shops. Sometimes I will unravel a whole sweater to knit something else with the yarn.

Years and years ago I made my brother an icelandic sweater that he never wore. It was to itchy he says. I took it back and it has been sitting in a drawer ever since. It is made of beautiful icelandic wool in 3 colours. I am debating to either unravel it or shirk felt it down. I am pretty sure I will unravel it but I just can't get myself to do it yet because it took so long to make and it really is a beautiful sweater. It would be nice to have that wool to work into something else though.
