This episode is sponsored by my Longaberger Home Business and Quince & Co.

Squishy, lofty, plump, little Owl by Quince & Co is made from a blend of American alpaca and wool. It's spun and dyed in New England and knits up between 4 ½ to 5 stitches per inch, the perfect weight for just about everything.

Find Owl and other Quince fibers at www.quinceandco.com.

Bronwyn: Harry Bear by Berocco Design Team

 

Paula: Felfs

TwinSetJan introduced us to The Art of Felfs by Cat Bordhi

Ballet Felfs by Cat Bordhi

$20 for e-book and 100% of the proceeds goes toward a very promising cancer research.

Please everyone look at Ballet Felfs on Ravelry so it will come to the top of the list of patterns.

Jaxie985 was the first to finish Felfs I think.  Ring bell when a Felf is born!
