How do you like this "Elephant Foot"?

Is this knitting fun, or what?

Felting projects are still well "en vogue", and with so many beautiful wool around and creative knitters inventing new patterns and creations all the time, the possibilities seem endless.

We got a number of NONI patterns in and Inge tried out this "Dr. Seuss-ish Elephant Foot". These bags are worked in the round, in one piece, knitted from top down. It looked harmless at first, then turned out to be more of a sleeping bag, but in the end after felting the result was a well sized and eye catching shoulder bag!

A nice change in between baby projects...

"dress up" your projects with Chili

This came in from SandnesGarn: Chili, an eyelash blend with a touch of glitter in aran weight. Great for scarves, or add it to your favorite knit as a glamorous trim. This yarn looks great in felted items - simply knit along with your wool, then felt as usual. Chili won't felt, instead adding an interesting eyelash effect that will "dress-up" your project. We have several pattern books with patterns and ideas using this versatile yarn. Check the shade card.

Four new top yarns, plus new colours!

We just got four new high end yarns in which all are "to die for..", really "divine" to feel them.

Schulana's Sojabama from Bamboo and Soy fibres; Skacel's Adagio from baby llama and silk; Skacel's Divine from baby alpaca, silk and cashmere (!); Zitron's funny couloured Farfalla for felting and more.

Plus we got new colours in for several yarns. We got solid colours for Zitron's sock yarn Trekking pro natura, which contains 25% Bamboo.

Rebecca Spit Felted Slippers

Our good friend and knitter Cissel brought this pattern from Norway. Easy to knit but tricky to sew together - but soooo cozy!! Like all our felted knit patterns, this requires 100% wool, in this case we used Patons Classic Merino.
