I used soft merino wool toppings and dry felted them using Dale Rollersons method of rolling it in bubble wrap. Then embellished it with the babylock and added some felted leaves and beads.

I started with a diamond shape and then just picked up stitches from the shape and knitted off in all directions, Very addictive. I used all odds of wool and incorporated gold embroidery threads. I then backed it with some dyed cheescloth and embellished it on my BabyLock. It is very soft and very warm, just right for this cold winter.Gloria Mileshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02469822665177946043noreply@blogger.com2
