Felted Lamb - My first felting project

Felted Lamb from Donna Kooler’s “Encyclopedia of Knitting”. It says here the pattern is by Bev Galeskas.

Sooo cute. Everyone wants one now. I’m booked up.

Working on a lighter colored one now.

Any suggestions on how I could make them better?

That is just adorable! :heart: I have no trouble believing you’re all booked up now! I have no suggestions on how to make it better, mostly because it looks just perfect to me!

Looks perfect to me, too! The only way it could look better is if it was in my possession! :wink: The face is so cute!!!

Looks great to me also!! It is too cute! :heart: :thumbsup:

:inlove: :heart: :thumbsup: That is sooo sweet!

Oh My Gosh!! That is just the cutest!! I love Ingrid’s comment too!

What yarn did you use? I have heard that white yarn is sometimes hard to felt, but clearly yours worked rather well.

Better? That is just the sweetest thing.

oh my gosh i :heart: that little lamb!!!

i don’t think it could be any better. it’s just adorable!

That is just one of the cutest things ever! I love it!

I can’t find the label right now, the ladyfriend may have “cleaned it up”. It’s natural undied wool, I remember It had the words “ecological wool” in big bold letters, on the label.

Color makes a difference!? FYI the yarn is not white, my camera has it’s own view of the world. It’s more of a very light grey. I’m working on another with an even lighter color, I hope it felts ok.

I think this one felted pretty well, but I have no prior felting experience to base that feeling on. You can’t see individual stitches, but on close inspection he appears to be ribbed. You can see the individual rows, but i’ve seen felted purses in the yarn shop and they look similar. I wonder if I were to use larger needles if they would felt any better.

Cascade Eco for the wool, maybe? That sounds like the label for it, anyway.

Totally :heart: the sheep! He needs to come to my house to frolick with my children. :lol:

I love the little lamb!!! :heart:
:thumbsup:

I NEED that!! And I NEED to stop looking at FO pages b/c I have too much on my “to knit” list already!!!

Was it hard to knit??

Oh, that is just adorable! :inlove: :inlove:

Oh I just bought that book last week!

I don’t think it looks baa baad at all! :wink:

OMG! I want one!!! :inlove: Or at least the pattern for it. :smiley:

Yep, I foud it. Cascade Yarns - Ecological Wool

I used #10.5 needles which knits fairly loose with this yarn, but not real loose. I wonder if I were to use slightly larger needles, would it felt any better?

They are actually pretty easy to make, I was surprized how well it came out first try. I’m still pretty new to knitting.

That is so cute! :inlove:

I’ve felted some sweaters :oops: and you could still see the pattern really clearly… maybe try the next ones with 11’s, and if you like the result, try again with 13’s. You’ve got a lot to make, so practice away!!!

I want one, too…so cute…

OMG I must have that–I am looking up the book as we speak! It looks great! :wink:
