Above: after felting, below before. It looked good before as well but didn't have enough body. Our outpatient (just discharged from residential) found a pattern, figured it out herself, and look at what she created!
Above: before felting, stay tuned for next week's photo for the after photo.

Look at these beautiful scarves above and below a blanket for her daughter.

Above: another bag to be felted. Below: Megan is showing the clients a scarf she is making using size 5 needles. It is a self striping yarn and she is having fun with it. She is a great role model for patience with those small needle projects!
