so, I need to give my back-tack II mate some ideas so this post is all about that. Although my craft space is overflowing, I always want to try more. Thanks to Craftlog (who has her lovely needlework shown in this post) I found out about this book coming out by the wool and hoop kit designer. Very exciting. I posted about wanting to try crewel work this spring, and of course, haven't tried it yet.
and I would love to try needle felting. this image is from my own stash that I posted about here. I have never tried felting at all and am ashamed to say that I haven't even made felt beads from the roving Stephanie gave me! bad crafter!!
and I have always been intrigued by rug hooking, especially learning how so I can work on my own designs. that would be super fun I think. has anyone done this? is it very tedious?? I should check a book out of the library and find out more and see if it's a total bear or not.
drop spindle intrigues me as well. I just found this book searching around. I have no idea if it's good or not, but the photo is lovely. I also have no spinning experience at all. I like the idea of drop spindle because it seems so much less of a commitment (not needling a big wheel and all) and I love the chunky look. And I have been drooling over the yarn at my paper crane and for so long and so tempted by the kit at hello yarn's great site.
okay back tack buddy, hope this helps! I know it's a bunch of ideas, so please just pick your favorite! (and the one that's the easiest for you to put together!!)
