Knitting ....Eyelash wool and cushions


Have you done any knitting with those fluffy 'eyelash' wools? It was all the rage last year and I did quite a few scarves.


Then our local 'cheapie' store sold it off at bargain prices....Lurid colours but at three balls for a £1, what's a girl to do?

I knitted it up into these Barbie doll cushions.........




Have a look at this pattern to knit a vegan fox tail scarf

Being a non knitter I have to ask,does the fabric come out fluffy on both sides or is it like crochet squares and only fluffy one side ?

It's fluffy on both sides, more like an animal's tail....there is a very strange pattern somewere online of a fake fox skin stole...I'll try to find it.

Oooh! I like the pink and fluffy Barbie cushions. Not a great fan of the vegan foxtail scarf though.

I always hoped for a crocheted vegan fox pattern to come up,appeals to my ironicals ;-)

I've seen one pattern at:

http://www.coatsandclark.com/Crafts/Crochet/Projects/Accessories/CD242-05+Foxy+Stole.htm

but it's not very foxy.

There are versions at:

http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=334685.msg3869145#msg3869145

but no patterns. Could you copy them?

The Coats and Clark one has a free pattern,I am always on their site so no idea how I missed that.
Now do I make a bluey grey fox or do I wait till I have the cash for more yarn? I quite like the idea of the yarn I already have,it is no good for baby stuff in case it sheds,I will let you know.
