My hope for a while was to make a pieced wool blanket. In late April I finally had enough wool and did the work of cutting them up, felting them in the wash, and cutting them into squares. A rotary cutter was essential to this process. Then, it sat in the corner for about 5 months. Finally last weekend I got around to sewing them up! Here it is, clumsily draped over the couch.
I haven't cut off stray threads yet or put the backing on, but I am pleased. I think it will be an excellent snuggle-in-the-couch blanket. I found a very large piece of soft wool (?) suiting material at a thrift store, which I'll use for the back.
I also made this wool diaper cover, which uploaded sideways for some reason. It was a really quick project. I plan to make more, and perhaps lanolize them.

It's always a treat to see a new post from you.
That blanket does look very snuggly. I like your color scheme. The shades of blue work very well together.
