Evolution

I bought and felted a dark grey wool cardigan.  I didn't have any particular plans for it except that I wanted the experience of felting something and then turning it in to something else.  Last night I got the energy to make something with my felted wool.  I started with wrist warmers.   I saw something I liked earlier and copied it: circles folded to make flowers.  I added 3 of those to each of the gloves.  I then found the original buttons that came with sweater and sewed two of those on each glove.  I wasn't quite satisfied.  The gloves were somewhat formal looking but they were too big around the wrists (fit perfectly on my hands).  So I decided to take them in.  And so now they are complete.  I didn't envision this as how I would turn my wool sweater into something, but it is how it evolved.   The same thing happened when I made the matching scarf.  I really wasn't sure what to do.  The front of the cardigan was useless (almost, anyhow) so I didn't have a lot of material to work with.  I did some searches and found a scarf I liked.  I "copied" the directions and ended up with about 5-6 pieces.  I then tacked the ends of them together and sewed a button on each of the joints.  Last, I made more circles which I attacked to the ends.  I put six on each.  Not something I had planned, but it evolved out of what I had.
