Here's some eye candy for ya: a few FO's!
Sari Silk bag: this was knit from some recycled-sari silk yarn, although at this point I'm not sure exactly which manufacturer. This major FO accomplishment started life as "Unbiased", a bag pattern from Knitty, Fall 2004.

And if you need yourself a little Easter Basket, here’s the ticket!
I’ll be teaching this mobius-handled basket at the Knitting Bee in early March. It goes amazingly quickly, so you’ll have plenty of time to whip up one or more before the holiday. Among other things, you’ll learn how to do a provisional cast-on — a must in every serious knitter’s repertoire!

Of course, these were not just your garden variety felted slippers. No, I had to make it harder than that. My goal was to replicate my dearly beloved, but quite elderly, pink furry bunny slippers: Hip and Hop.

Introducing my friend TrishC, who has graciously agreed to “guest blog” here on TessKnits. Trish is an amazing knitter and designer, whose knitting adventurousness I greatly admire. Her FO’s are often a beautiful riot of colors, yarns and textures, guaranteed to turn heads and inspire knitters. Take it away, Trish!

Last Friday, I made another attempt at a pair of felted slippers for myself. (For those of you keeping score, DH has a pair already that he wears & loves – made in 2004.)
