I'm basically starting from scratch. My entire knitting background is working on an unfinished project from middle school (so MANY years ago..). Right now I don't have any needles, yarn, etc.
What I'm interested in is cruelty-free wool and making felted knit purses/hobo bags (possibly knobby/seed textured, with only shrinking (to retain the knobby texture] and so not really true felting?)!!!
Cruelty-free wool definitely seems hard to find---does anyone know easy/affordable ways to get it???
For now, I really like the idea of a knitting machine. I'm not ready to take the plunge right now, but I'm yet intrigued by them. Does anyone have feedback on what is affordable/sturdy/for beginners?? Where to buy, etc.?
Does anyone know if it's possible to knit boucle leg warmers???
Also, how easy/hard is it to see a picture of something knitted and then be able to re-create it by guessing???
Thanks all, for reading this post and considering my numerous newbie questions!!! Happy knitting to all!
