I am planning on putting up a pattern in the next couple of weeks for a felted bowl with a welt on the bottom. The felted bowls kind of annoy me when they wobble, so I think they welt will help.

Just in case you can’t afford an iPhone or think it’s not worth the money (my hand’s up on that one) here are instructions for knitting yourself one.

Ruffled Felted Bowl Pattern
Actually, I’m not sure I’d call this a bowl if I’m being technical, as it looks a bit more like a vase, but it’s probably closer to a bowl than a vase. I’m using it to hold my reading glasses, so maybe it’s a holder. Anyway…
Materials
Size 11 circular or double-pointed needles for […]

Large Shallow Felted Bowl with Smaller Opening

This was not the best color to use, as it’s a little too dark to see well, so I will probably redo it in a lighter color. I’ll also do one that is deeper. Right now, though, I’m working on a bowl with a ruffle.

I should be posting the pattern for the bowl modification that was requested, with the opening slightly smaller than the sides tomorrow. I have it done - I just have to felt it.
I’m also working on a pattern for a bowl with a ruffled edge.

It’s a fairly basic sock pattern. I call them bedsocks because they’re so thick that they’re really best for keeping […]

Our friend Kate had a baby in October. I finally got around to knitting a blanket and a matching bowl for the baby and her room:

They’re both knit out of Lion Brand Landscapes in Pastel Meadows. For the bowl I used my felted bowl pattern. For the blanket, I just cast on stitches on […]

I just wanted to share a great step by step guide to knitting socks that I found: Socks 101 Even with multiple knitting books and magazines, I still didn’t understand decreasing the gusset, and this demo cleared it up in a snap.

Large Shallow Felted Bowl

Note: I also have put up patterns for a felted bowl with a ruffled edge and a version of this bowl with a smaller opening.
Materials
Size 11 circular or double-pointed needles for the beginning, double-pointed needles for the end, when the decreases begin.
One skein of Noro Kureyon or another worsted-weight yarn. I used […]

This is one of my favorite patterns on my “To-Do” list. I have all the materials, just haven’t had the time.
