Balloon Tying Creations 1&2
CiD
's Balloon Tying Creations are as fun to knit as they are to assemble. Fashioned after the balloon animals that
you
'd find in a circus or at a child's birthday party, they're an ingenious use of durable, self-striping sock yarns.
Once the province of dexterous clowns, these amazing little creatures (10 in each volume) are knit in the round,
stuffed and tied into their respective species, be it animal, insect, or flower.
The patterns are sold as a set in a clear vinyl wallet. Filled with clear and concise instructions on knitting,
stuffing, and tying the wee beasties, the balloon creatures feature a wide cross-section of Skacel sock yarns
including Trekking XXL, Trekking Pro Natura, Fortissima Socka, and Step.
