Riederalp Switzerland




Dear All,

I visited Riederalp Switzerland a couple of years ago.  It was a very nice place and worth the trip.  There are no cars since it is on the top of the Alps!  The only way to get there is to take a gondola!

Enjoy!

Upcycled Flower Button Neckwarmer

This is my latest neckwarmer.  It has an opening to slip the other end through to fasten around the neck.  The yarn is a soft bulky wool and it is very warm! 

The neckwarmer also has a hand-made funky flower pin to use as a large button.  You can fasten the neckwarmer and have a pretty accessory.  The pin is made from upcycled tee-shirt fabric pieces, hand-felted pieces and sewn-on Czech beads.  The flower pin is removable too!





You can wear it without the pin.  Here is a yarn closeup.


Cozy and warm.  To purchase, visit my Etsy shop, Global Knits.

Take care.
Susan

Felted and Needlepunched

This neckwarmer is one of my latest felted projects.  Made from soft hand-dyed merino fleece, wool yarns, cotton threads, and recycled sari silk pieces. 


 Here's a closeup of the yarns needle-punched into the felted fleece.

 The wide fuschia section is a piece of recycled sari silk.

 Large avacado button.
 More needle-punching effects.


 It can be worn draped around the shoulders too.  It reminds me of Sante Fe.

Thank you for visiting!

Vermont Sky

The following photos were all taken during our roadtrip to Vermont.  All images were taken while driving.  I was in the passenger seat - don't worry!
 

 The skies were so interesting too!






 Here's a blurry shot with little images of the foliage - Near Bolton, VT on Route 89.






 The typical dark clouds in Vermont, letting you know the winter is approaching!

Take care!
