I know it seems early to be talking about Christmas but I need some inspiration for my Christmas challenge.
The topic is 'flower'
We can make anything using wool (and other things too if we want) as a medium. So it can be spun, woven, felted, knitted, crochet etc....
Last year I made the felted squirrel so I don't want to do something similar.
I am at a total loss as to what to do this year. Please help

Flower cap in Xmas colours? Knitted, or felt, or knit-> felt.
Try overshot weaving to make a flower motif?
Socks or slippers, knitted, with flower motif - could be stranded colour work, or cabling.
Wet felt flowers, could be decoration or brooches.
I can never think of anything when it's my own challenge!
-
What about a crochet or felt table runner with poinsettias or Christmas roses?
Would look nice with some metallic thread in and twinkly little seed beads sewn in :)
-
Lots of nice idea from you both. I will take a look on google to see what patterns I can find.
thanks

how about using 'flower' dyed fleece or yarn.

That's an interesting thought Dogwalker.
I already have some fleece that I dyed with rosebay willow herb and himalayan balsam. I will get my books out and see what other flowers I can use.

Dandelions will be in flower soon....

I was just thinking that Anke. There are usually plenty of those around.
