We just finished our Felting class this week. Boy did we have a great time!! We had several felting ideas like:  slippers, mittens, hats, boots, animals, clogs, handbags, totes Here is a mighty fine felted carpet created by one of Brown Sheep's customers.  The group at Brown Sheep have shared this story:   Chad shared his “recipe” with us for the rug, in case you’d like to create one yourself.  He used six different colors of Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride Bulky Weight yarn and cast on 73 stitches on size 15 needles and knit for 93 rows.  He knit about 45 pieces, and then felted each piece.  He wanted to have circles and abstracts pieces in the rug, too, so he added them into the design.  After all the pieces were felted, a company put the rug together for him.  Total time for the project?  “It took me one year and three months to knit and felt all of the squares for the rug— in between other projects.” Who's up for making a carpet?? 

This delightful book is one of a series of books written by Joanna Johnson. Her latest book called Green Gable Knits will be released next month. Aside from the Anne of Green Gables story line, the book boasts of many knitted patterns. Peggy Jo Wells owner of the Brown Sheep wool company mentioned this book and author to me. Joanna's knitted designs use many of the Brown Sheep wool choices. Grey Heron has been chosen as one of the exclusive yarn shops to review the book, patterns, conduct KALs etc.... CAN'T WAIT!!!
