They are one and the same, and I am sharing how your kids can, inexpensively, make their very own knitting spool and do their own knitting.

mm needles using lace yarn and it will take about 8-12 hours to finish the larger specimen and around 3-4 hours for the smaller version. The instructions for the lovely Porcini mushrooms have been downloaded, and I was all ready with yarn and needles.

I arranged them in my little fake forest here in my studio, but ultimately I put them under a cloche and let me sit on the windowsill.

Here's how to make your own DIY French knitting spool so you can so can 'unwind' when you're at your knit's end. For some reason, I’ve got it into my head that I wanted the gills to dive/converge into the center (the real amanitas have a hemispherical shape as well), but that proved to be quite difficult without showing the increases and, usually, knitting just doesn’t behave like that when stuffed. They are knit in one piece without a seam, though you will have to embroider the dots after you finished. Going forward, it seems that the pattern assumes one less stitch than produced by the instructions (round 34 has a total of 12 decreases get from 152 to 140, etc). to the Siesta Socks which are perfect for a chilled out day at home as they are so soft and cuddly, but they are equally fabulous paired with your wellies or walking boots.

There’s a typo on page 6, Round 40 instructions say *k7, k2tog, k20*, but that’s the round 41 instructions. You can either use your darning needle to stitch this end into your cord so it is hidden or to sew the two ends together to form a loop. If you just go through the toy stuffing, there is a chance it will tear through/pull through and you won’t get as pronounced an effect. However, the number of stitches in round 31, minus the 2 stitches at the end, should be divisible by 5.

Please note that this will mean a delay in receiving your parcel as customs can take 1-2 weeks to process a parcel, though it is sometimes faster. And, if you don’t mind a larger finished project, you can knit using bigger needles and heavier yarn as well. Nicely made and painted and I really like that it has a well shaped wooden stick for lifting the loops over.
