Frog Tree Alpaca Yarns Available

Frog Tree Alpaca sport weight yarn

Frog Tree Yarns has given me several skeins of yarn to sell and to help promote my newest pattern, Woolly Bird Holiday Ornaments. The colors are the exact colors used on the pattern cover to make the cardinal, the owlet, the tufted-ear owl and the penguin chick.

I encourage you to check with your local yarn stores first to see if they carry Frog Tree sport weight yarns. If not, I have 10 skeins in each color available for sale on my Etsy site. When these skeins sell out that is it! 

So get them while they last!

Happy knitting!

New pattern available!

I can't believe it myself, but yes, I have another new pattern this year, Woolly Bird Holiday Ornaments! I am excited because they are so quick and easy to knit up and whimsical to embellish.

The birds call for alpaca sport weight yarn. That way after felting they can be vigorously brushed using the nap riser brush, to create fuzzy, soft little creatures! The perfect final touch to these little birds. The birds in the photo were knit using Frog Tree alpaca sport weight. One skein makes dozens of birds.

I actually timed the knitting process. Each bird took 15 minutes to knit up. The embellishing materials include many items found already in your craft bin: acrylic felt, embroidery floss, wool roving for the beaks and 20-gauge wire (found in any craft store) for the hooks. Don't be intimidated by the hooks, I give very detailed instructions and diagrams.

My favorite ornament? The cream owlet, of course! I love that simple little face! Which is your favorite bird ornament?

Word of caution, you will be making them for everyone this year!

Happy knitting!
