By playing, I have discovered various yarns that can create a whole different feel to the pattern. Click on each photo

Woolly Chick Now you can have a fuzzy
chick! This chick was knit using gold Frog Tree Alpaca sport weight with Trendsetter Aura white carried along. Carry the Aura every other row (it gets a bit much, otherwise). I then added black bead eyes
so they would stand out against the Aura's fuzziness. You may need to give it
a haircut to define the shape!

Woolly Snowman My friends at Knit Wits (Chanhassen, Minnesota), gave me this idea! This Snowman was knit with Cascade 220
#8010 and Trendsetter Aura white carried together.
The Aura was carried every other row. I liked that the Aura
did not effect the snowman's size after felting. I used beads for the eyes. Rather than a felted scarf, I used
1-1/2 inch wire ribbon instead.
I made a snowman for Breast Cancer
Awareness Month using pink Cascade 220 and white Aura.

Harvest Pumpkin This pumpkin was knit using
Nature Spun worsted yarn, Orange You Glad, and
Trendsetter Aura, orange. I carried the Aura every other row of the pumpkin but not on
the stem. I used beads here to accent the pumpkin's spottiness, giving it texture. I added a 1-inch wire ribbon, folded
in half then sewn to the stem. I wrapped the ribbon around my finger to give it a curlycue look.
