Nicely coordinated batts Judith, do you have a project in mind for them?

It's arrived! Yay! Great service. Me:- "Isn't it great" DH:- "Hmm, it's big". This made me laugh out loud - an all too familiar response in my house too I'm guessing you will be too busy feeding your new toy to talk to us on the forum for the next few days

The jumper is great Carol, I imagine the area where the hood attaches and overlaps was tricky to do? Enjoy the alpacas.... Perhaps leave the cards at home and just take a limited amount of cash...?

Just saw this lovely bag and super-cute hedgehog on Pinterest and wondering how she made the spines... Any ideas? I find it hard to believe she made and attached that many felt ropes! link

Totally agree with Judith, rubbing or rolling in the direction and just on the area where you want it shrink is the route I would take but it will need to be wetted out with warm water first. Alternatively, you could do some shibori stitching to add pleats, a bit like the collar on this jacket: link
to do do this you need to stitch lines of running stitch 1-2 cm apart across the area where you want the pleats, use a very strong thread. Once all the lines of stitching are in place, pull them very tight to create your gathers, knot the ends and then steam your shawl for 20-30 min to fix the pleats, then let it dry completely before removing the stitches.

Great recycling of the necklaces Smiff, this could have gone into Ann's challenge!

Cool idea Lyn! I've been thinking about rigging something up to take ariel videos but this is a lot simpler and doesn't require holes to be drilled in the kitchen ceiling!
