Keep Calm and Craft On

I thought I would join in with Nicole of Frontier Dreams today to share a little project I have been working on.



The girls and I hand painted wool yarn a couple of weeks ago and I especially liked how Sarah's turned out - she calls it Earth and hand painted it with soft greens, blues and browns and left some natural for snow, she told me.






So I crocheted up two bags and a little woolen bowl - all out of her one skein.



Warm wishes,
Tonya

  3. Tonya...This is so fun! I love your daughter's name for her wool, very appropriate! We painted wool last year with my 3 and 5 year olds and it was wonderful. It turned out much better than I had thought and my oldest is just finishing a knitting project with his rainbow yarn right now. I also love seeing you and your youngest...beautiful!
