More nautical necklaces!

I've really got into making these knotted nautical necklaces now from my hand felted cords!  Trying out different designs from the book I've had since I was little.  A friend requested a black one, not too sure whether it works in black though so I've been trying out some different shades.

Summertime

I've really got into making cords recently, having learnt a fun and simple way to make them quickly at the Felt convergence with Martien van Zuilen.  I'm loving this summery lime green wool: the cord is tied in an old seafarers knot from a book I bought when I was a kid in the UK by the sea on the East coast, so the knot has many happy memories for me.  I made a matching bracelet using my technique described here.  I've entered this photo into the Renegade Collective 'Cool Wool' magazine competition, but although the print version of the mag said today was the deadline I think it may have passed as it says the 6th on the web, so I'm not getting my hopes too high.  At least Felt is now represented in the comp :)
