Two things that have been occupying me this month. The first is a felted solar system.
This project was inspired by a visit to the Space Centre in Leicester. I love the place and my favourite area is 'the planets'. It's not particularly interactive, mostly just information boards with some models. I think it's the varied and beautiful colours of the spheres that grabs me and this time it occurred to me that the coloured wool tops that I stock would lend themselves perfectly. It's been fun picking the colours, and unlike spinning and knitting, each felted disc is very quick to make.
What's been taking most of my knitting time is a nativity (or 'knitivity'?). I've heard people moan about friends who ask "If I buy the wool will you make this for me?" but I didn't think I'd be caught out myself....

Your planets are great, how will you display them when all done?
Thanks! I originally thought of sticking them on the ceiling but as they're a bit bigger than expected I'll probably make a freize on the wall close to the ceiling.
Oh I love the planets! My daughter would like these and enjoys felting.
