| Cast on and create a darling
wallet adding whimsical touches as you knit. A Turkish cast on will
be taught as well as how to use two circular needles to create a seamless
piece. Many different options for adding whimsy to your piece will

Using the felting properties of natural fibers you will wash your
finished knitting in your home washing machine and create a durable
felted wallet. The only pre-requisite is knowing how to knit! Since
this piece is created in the round, you will only use a knit stitch
and a simple increase.

A seamless cast on and two circular needle tubular knitting method
will be taught to create the wallet. A handout will include several
different options for adding decorative touches to the piece . Two
different methods of cast off will be taught to end off the top
of the piece. We will finish class with a discussion of felting
techniques so the student can go home and feel confident in their
ability to felt their piece with success.
