Description

Imagine your child playing with a Playscape you designed & knit in colourful, natural wool.

Listen to them as they act out their favourite stories or narrate their own wild tales.  Watch them as they slip into a marvelous world of their own creation.  It feels good knowing you had a hand creating this timeless toy from start to finish.

Would you make a fun farm or an enchanted fairyland or maybe mix them together ?  Invite your child to work along with you or keep it under wraps until you’re ready to present them with the complete playscape?

In this unique course,  you’ll learn how to knit, sew & stuff animals, people & props (trees, rocks, buildings) then embellish them with knit & embroidered details like flowers, veggies & more… at your own pace using simple materials & tools.

How it Works

.
The Knit Playscape is built upon 4 detachable Playscape Squares (approx. 12 x 12″ / 30×30 cm).  They include sewn-on elements & others which are detachable.

Using some basic embroidery stitches, interesting colour combinations & eye-catching textures, you’ll add visual & textural interest along with tons of play value to this fun knit project.

Go ahead & make extra squares – one to reflect each season – spring flowers, summer herbs, fall fruit & root veggies – perhaps, even a white snow-covered square.  You can use them on your Nature Table or as settings for storytelling during your circle time.

This course is delivered via 7 lessons – a new one is released every week.  Once they have all been released, you’ll have lifetime access to them all.

.

Experience Level

.
This project is made up of a collection of simple pieces all rather cleverly put together.  You can make as many or few of the projects as you wish, make more of some or change the yarns & colours.  The options are truly endless.

The “Tell Tale Knit” playfarm is a perfect project to make along with your child as s/he learns to knit. It features many knit “mini-projects” – perfect for a beginning (or younger) knitter who’s looking for some simple practice pieces. The best way to have fun knitting is being able to start & finish projects quickly – especially in the early days,….!

As your child becomes a more practiced knitter, s/he will enjoy designing & then knitting new pieces to play with – turning an idea into a real toy is an amazing accomplishment.

 

What do you need to know before you start ?

.

The entire project is knit using only three sizes of knitting needles Size 4 / 5.5 / 6.5 mm (US 6, 9, 10.5).  You’ll need varying amounts of Aran, Worsted, Sport & Fingering weight yarns in various colours depending on the choices you make as you work through the projects. Suggested colours & weights are included for every piece.

And

– as always, you get life-time access to this All-In-One Course & email support, should you have any questions!

.
