Fiber Arts Friday - 2011 in Review

WOW!  2011 is almost over.  It's hard to believe.  As of Wednesday, I can truly say that I managed to Crochet, Knit, Felt and Weave while sneaking in a bit of sewing (of seams and buttons) into the year.  I wanted to share the Fiber Arts creations that I have made throughout the year.  I have really grown as a Fiber Artist and have truly found a passion for the various art forms.

Yes!  I have officially learned how to crochet.  My co-workers started to teach me during lunch and I am quite pleased with the results of two days work.  I intend to explore this craft more during the new year.

Now I am going to share a few collages of everything I created during 2011.  Well...almost everything.  I couldn't believe how much I made and this doesn't even include all of the yarn I spun or batts I created.  Yikes!
















2011 truly was a year of being Positive, Productive and full of wonderful Possibility.  I can't wait to see what 2012 brings.  Now, share your Fiber Arts Adventures and have a very Happy New Year!

    I remember fretting with you over a knitted hat a while back and now you've aced the knitting, weaving, felting and now crochet.

    I still love that photo with the orange floatie... it just makes me giggle everytime I see it.

    Thank you so much for hosting FAF each week and for leaving such thoughtful posts. :-)

  12. Nice job! I crochet and am a beginner knitter, but still prefer crochet...I think I'd love to weave (I once worked in a textile factory on HUGE looms) but spinning holds no interest to me...
