Laying out layers of variegated roving...
...wetting them out...
...and shaping them into a tidy rectangle...
...then rolling them in bubble wrap...
...to create a colorful sheet of pre-felt.
Once dry...
...a rotary cutter and mat are employed...
...to cut the pre-felt into neat squares.
Using variegated wool yarn...
...and a large-eyed needle...
...decorative stitches are made on the surface of each square.
Meanwhile, a stocking-shaped resist is being prepared. :)
You may recognize the variegated wool squares from my last project...
...(since I used them on my Christmas hat as a 'tree skirt' decoration, too).
Here, they will adorn the 'toes' and 'heels' of my daughter's new stocking...
...so 'stay tuned' for Part 2! :)
