The Saga of the felted foot stool part 2!

The Foot Stool is done!!!!  Whoooo Hooooo!!!!  Yes I just finished sewing it up and then I stuffed it part way (I had to use towels and throw blankets and I ran out!)  I will be buying more stuffing when I get it back from Knit Picks!  I love how the yarn felted and I love how it looks.  It is now boxed up and ready to be mailed out to Knit picks where they will restuff it and then take professional pictures for their site!  I will also be releasing this pattern here and on Ravelry at that time!.  Well here goes this

Turned into this!

So what do you think?



The Saga of the felted foot stool

I have finished knitting the Foot Stool!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here is a picture of it before felting!

It has been felted and it is still drying (has been for over 8 hours already)  I tried putting it in the dryer but after 40 mins it was still wet, I then put it out side and after 7+ hours it is still damp.  I am sewing it now while it is damp and then it is going back into the dryer.  Once it is done I will take pictures and post them here!  I am so happy to have this done. 

Today I also typed up and put into testing my newest design

Called Dragon Skin Cowl if you are interested in test knitting this and you are on Ravelry please join us on http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/knits-4-u-designs/1382736/1-25#3 that thread and then pm me telling me you are interested in testing it! 

Well now I am off to work on sewing the bottom of the foot stool on and the zipper then I will be working on my blanket design that goes with the tuffet pattern I have in testing. 

Good Morning!

Happy Sunday everyone.  I wanted to updated you on the foot stool!  I now have 200 yards of yarn to go!  I should have it done tonight and then Monday I will take a picture before felting and after so you can see the differences and then I will sew it up and stuff it and take another picture and then box it up and send it to knit picks.  My plan is it will be in Tuesdays mail.  I will let you know how I did tonight before I go to bed with a new post!  Have a great day and I am off to work on the foot stool.

Good Morning and Happy Saturday

It has been really hard already keeping up with this blog every day for the month thing but I am still plugging along!  I decided to try blogging early today instead of worrying about doing it later as I may be out then.  So as I sit here drinking my coffee and trying to clear sleep from my mind I and promising I will be only working on my charting and foot stool today!  OK maybe 2 hours on my new cowl so I can finish it up and type it up for testing on Monday.  I am hearing rumors that we may have snow soon and I will take pictures of our first snow fall and post them for you all. 

Great news came in an email yesterday a second company has agreed to send yarn support for my Celtic Knot throw blanket series!  That is 2 of the 3 taken care of now, of course this means I need to knit them and I have the foot stool to finish, the blanket that goes with the tuffet to do, those 2 blankets and the 2 sweaters I promised my friend LOL  I really really need to finish my last filet chart which will also be the 3rd blanket!  Oh and I want to start work on the dish cloths and put in for yarn support for those this coming week.

OK today's question, please post your answers in the comments below! 

How much would you pay for a pattern with 12 dish rags in it?
Also would you be interested in a dish rag of the month club?  What would you expect from it?  Pattern? Yarn? Both?  and what would you pay for a Dish rag of the month club that only gave you a mailed copy of the pattern?  Or would you want the PDF and what would you pay for the PDF version of dish rag of the month club?
