Welcome to A Project in Sheep’s Clothing KAL!
A Project in Sheep’s Clothing is a versatile project bag and a great project to learn the arts of wet felting and needle felting. Make your bag unique by incorporating stripes or other ornamentation, or follow our instructions to needle felt a sheep on your bag. In this KAL you will learn how to:
- Read your knitting so you can always tell what row you are on
- Use a lifeline so you never have to rip all your work out again
- Do a provisional cast on
- Knit in the round
- Knit front and back increase (kfb)
- Make buttonholes
- Knit an i-cord
- Wet felt
- Needle felt a surface design
- Install grommets
Participants must know how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off prior to starting this KAL.
Recommended Supplies
- 600 yards of 100% wool worsted weight yarn in 2 or more colors. We recommend Naturally Nazareth by Kraemer.
- US 10 or 10.5 (6 or 6.5 mm) circular knitting needles, at least 32” long Note: Since this is a felted project, US 9 or 11 would probably be fine if you don’t have these sizes. If you are adept at knitting in the round and prefer to use other needles, that’s fine too.
- Long strand of cotton yarn
- Darning needle
- Scissors
Optional Supplies
- Grommets for buttonholes
- Needle felting supplies for sheep:
- Black & white roving
- Felting needle
- Felting pad
- Small amount of white or ecru crochet thread, embroidery floss, or similar yarn/string
