I made these cute little booties for a friend’s baby.  They are really soft, made out of alpaca.

I love it when customers give me artistic license.  He just said put some of that swirly stuff on it you like to do.  Cool!  I really do like doing spiral work.  Its very relaxing.  I love the process of joining one spiral to another.  Spiral designs work very well with felt because they are so organic and if they slide a bit during the felting process they still look like a spiral.   The hat was a bit tricky because it is made around a flat resist with a front and a backside.  I have pretty good spacial relations, but it was hard to visualize how the pattern wrapped around the other side.  It was hurting my brain.  Finally I looked at if from above so I could see both sides at once, and it all made sense then.
