Christmas Craft Fair

I had a great time at the Christmas Craft Fair that I was selling in. It took place about an half hour out of Nelson in Castlegar and was very interesting. There were many talented Vendors and I ended up bringing home a few of their tasty and beautiful items.

I actually sold some items as well. My Kootenay Mountain Felted Fiber piece sold and my Strawberry Summer Shawl and my Victory Shawl. That was very nice! There was a great deal of interest in the Felting and the knitting pieces I brought and being the only Felter there it certainly helped :) Here are the pics of what sold:

I made some new knitting pieces I thought I would show you and you can let me know what you think.

This is my Capelet Cowl (which almost sold):

It's made of Black Angora for the bottom trim with Gray Mohair next and 100% Baby Alpaca for the Cowl. I love how the Alpaca yarn is squiggly with thin and thicker throughout. It makes a lovely texture.

I also made a Zouave Jacket from a 1897 pattern book I have. Here are some pictures of that:

As soon as a take a short rest I'm hoping to get back to more felting. I'm going to be working on more textured pieces to wear with a more defined look. I can't wait to get to the designing.

Thanks for following and I hope you like the pictures!!
