April Meeting
April 10
Make a Felted Knit Rose.
Robin will show us how. This cute little rose can be knit in less than 1 hour, then taken home to felt. If you can cast
on, knit, and purl, you have all the skills necessary for this project.
Materials
Wool yarn - It takes less than 20 yards on size 8 needles so this is a great project to use up leftovers.
Knitting needles approximately twice as big around as your yarn (bring more than 1 size if not sure).
Yarn needle.
Robin will bring samples of completed roses, knitting instructions, and instructions for felting your rose at home.
