The Julenisse is a traditional Danish

Christmas folklore character. Heidis
Julenisse has hands in his pockets and an
impish little face. He looks like hes planning
a bit of mischief. Hes very easy to knit.
Savvy knitters will notice that his head is
a sock toe and his clothes are created by
simple color changes. A bit of embroidery
creates the illusion of pants and sleeves.

Felted Clogs
Clogs are knit XXXL size in wool and then run through the wash
machine to shrink the wool into a tight, firm fabric. Susan will share
her tips and tricks to help you keep track of the wrap and turns and
increases that create the clog shaping. There are size options for
every family member. Every new pair that Susan creates has a new
element of creativity. She'll show you how to use needle felting
to add a name, a flower, a soccer ball, a snowman, snowflake,
