I really appreciate it! <br />xxxx<br /><br />Thanks Kerry, yes it will be a warm one :) <br /><br />Dotty, my table is 8ft by 4ft.. when I had a smaller table I used to use a bamboo blind that was the same width as the longest edge of my table, and run it along the shortest edge so it hung over on each - making a wider work area. It was a bit of a pain for rubbing, shuffling it around on the table to support the bit I was working on, but when it came time for rolling it was fine (rolling from the long edge). It wasn't ideal but it was a way around a problem :)<br /><br />Thanks Kat :) I'm not sure what you mean about it being a year since I began.. I post as often as I am able, I try for at least 2 or 3 posts a month. I post more frequently on my Facebook (FeltersJourney) but they are very brief.. you're welcome to join me there :)<br /><br />Lyn I like the line of the vest too.. which is why it's a tough decision. I think the thickness of it lends itself to becoming a jacket though. Think I'm going to add sleeves and hope for the best - I can always take them back off if I don't like 'em :) <br />FeltersJourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144951816128798093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733144082304387946.post-24711248386142073852015-03-22T10:11:23.691+00:002015-03-22T10:11:23.691+00:00I dunno Deborah - I like the line of the vest - I&...I dunno Deborah - I like the line of the vest - I'm wondering if sleeves would take away the simple elegance?

What a dilemma!<br />How wide is your felting table? I would love to do a seamless vest but don't think my table would be wide enough :(Dotty Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011643284909577529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733144082304387946.post-10674388430478446262015-03-17T16:37:42.241+00:002015-03-17T16:37:42.241+00:00beautiful!
