Reviews for Whimsical Woollies: 20 Projects to Knit and Felt
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.
