Web-Letter, Issue 161 – Zany Puppetina in MinnowMerino When we’re knitting, all is right with the world! This is a quote from the inside flap of Jil’s new book—Jil Eaton’s Knitting School. How true this is! Knitting can be done in so many venues: at home with a movie, listening to an audio book, riding the train or bus, with coffee and a bunch of friends. It also has the power to make any wait tolerable. It has a calming and focusing effect. It helps to shut out the world when it is too noisy and demanding. Knitting is creative and gives us a sense of satisfaction of work well done. Gift recipients’ eyes open wide when they see a beautiful handcrafted gift.  So hooray to Jil for creating this beautiful book to help new knitter’s become confident knitters who can share in the zen of this art form.
The Story: How adorable is this perky critter, complete with shaggy mane and fiery tongue? A charming present for the young and young at heart alike, this knits up in a jiffy. A toy is fun to knit and even more fun to play with, and is the perfect project to use up those leftovers in the knitting stash. The Yarn: MinnowMerino 100% extra fine superwash merino MinnowMerino is a super-soft, machine-washable, worsted-weight yarn. The loose twist of this single-ply, extra-fine merino allows for quick knits that are cozy and lightweight and will keep you warm. The yarn is great for Jil’s kids’ designs, past and present, and it’s also wonderful for just about anything you’d like to make in a worsted-weight yarn. MinnowMerino comes in a generous color palette that includes colors for both for adult and children’s garments.	more photos The Pattern: Here is the free downloadable Zany Puppetina pattern.
