Felted Yarn BowlWant an unbreakable, light-weight yarn bowl that conveniently squishes to fit in your project bag? Susan has created a pattern for a knitted and felted yarn bowl that will do just that. You’ll begin on double pointed needles at the center bottom of the bowl. Then you’ll work on circular needles to create the bowl shape. After the bowl is felted down in the washing machine, you’ll cut the slot to guide your knitting yarn for smooth knitting.

JulenisseThe Julenisse is a traditional Danish Christmas folklore character. Heidi’s Julenisse has hands in his pockets and an impish little face. He looks like he’s planning a bit of mischief. He’s very easy to knit. Savvy knitters will notice that his head is a sock toe and his clothes are created by simple color changes. A bit of embroidery creates the illusion of pants and sleeves.

Felted ClogsClogs are knit XXXL size in wool and then run through the wash machine to shrink the wool into a tight, firm fabric. Susan will share her tips and tricks to help you keep track of the wrap and turns and increases that create the clog shaping. There are size options for every family member. Every new pair that Susan creates has a new element of creativity. She'll show you how to use needle felting to add a name, a flower, a soccer ball, a snowman, snowflake, or whatever embellishment you want. You can even add a jester fringe to the cuff for a real touch of whimsey.
