FABULOUS FELTED TOYS FOR BULKIES
More fun with felting! Now bulky machine knitters (including Bond knitters) can make these great baby-safe toys: 2 sizes of ball, doll, assorted whimsical fish, and a rattle. The rattle has craft bells safely enclosed in the felt to make the noise. 8 pages with color photos throughout and complete felting instructions. It only takes a couple of ounces of yarn and a few minutes to make a toy! Use up your scraps and make a child smile. These would be great bazaar projects and fund raisers. It's perfectly OK with me if you produce them to sell. This is an E-pattern which will be sent as an instant download. $8
