I've made two of the spiral variety in cream and brown, so they look living examples.

They are fast and easy. My mom was just telling me she wouldn't have thought to use those two colors together.

I like 'em best in chunky alpaca. These definitely got me back into my knitting groove after a long lapse. Here's the link: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall07/PATTfoliage.html Good luck!

You get the knit fix and then the voila effect of felting it into something new. I'm about to start the cloche you see here http://mkcarroll.typepad.com/mk_carroll/2007/11/matilda-tillie-.html --but if you are not interested in "clothing," felt a kitty bed from your scrap yarn: http://wendyknits.net/knit/kittybed.htm I also have spent far more time on the internet than I intended to because of you, Scout! and have printed out several patterns that I must begin right now, all because of your silly contest! ~Stacie I’m with the felters that to jumpstart your enthusiasm you should do a felting project.
