December 2015 Whimsical Woolies is a collection of Marie Mayhew’s
favourite patterns from her 15-year career to date. Each is what
she calls a ‘felt and knit’ pattern, which means knitting your
project loosely before shrinking it into feltly loveliness in your
washing machine. It’s a seasonal book –and we’re not just talking
about the festive season. The whole year is covered. There’s a
leprechaun toy for St Patricks Day, a witch for Halloween, and a
baby chick for easter. And there’s plenty for Christmas, too. Marie
has designed baubles for the tree, stockings crying out to be
filled with satsumas, place-card holders for the table and Santa
and snowmen toys that could be gifts or used to bring even more
cheer to your home. We’re very excited to see what the next 15
years of Marie’s career brings.

Squeeeeee! The front of this book makes you want to smile. Once you
open the book you will see that everything is provided so you can
make the projects yourself. You will learn all the techniques to
knit-felt or needle-felt. There are clear pictures with detailed
and clear instructions. Not only will you learn how to felt the
designs you will also learn how to use techniques such as
embroidery to add that extra something to the design. As well as
all the information, techniques and instruction provided you also
get twenty different projects to complete. I love the fact that
everything you learn can then be utilised to create your own
projects. Not only do you learn the felting & embroidery techniques

creating your project. This even includes how to make legs for the
chicks from wire. I just love the amazing looks of each of the
designs. The sheep has to be my favorite. Not only does it look
like a sheep it's also got amazing and classic look that gives it
that extra something speical. The projects are also themed for
different special occasions throughout the year. You've got
