Its Done!

The eyeglass case is done & felted.  The hat is done & felted!  They came out pretty good, I think!  I wanted to wait til they were done before I posted pics, so I could show a before & after shot.  My husband took the camera today, so the pictures will have to wait until tomorrow. 

I'm pleased with the results.  The case came out much like I expected.  I was a little worried because I used a different yarn for the edge trim, but it felted evenly.  The hat actually came out smaller than I expected.  It shrunk more in the lenght than I planned, even though I measured carefully.  But it still fits good, it just doesn't have the brim I anticipated. 

I'm currently "without project", sort of.  I have things to do, but I don't want to do them right now.  So I played around with a snowman idea I had been tossing around.  I made the first one yesterday, he's maybe 3-4 inches tall.  I think it came out so cute!  I added a hat & scarf, too.  My daughter wanted a girl one, so I made her last night.  I'll add the hat & scarf today.  These are really fun & very quick, so I may make a few more before the holiday.  I will definately take pictures of these cause they are just too cute!!
