I have just come across this blog entry on The Indigo Rabbit for knitting needle tops I had been wanting to find an alternative to beads for the top of the children's homemade knitting needles and this looks fantastic. However, it may be harder to achieve than it looks and I'll have to try it for myself.
Obviously, this would need some adapting. For one, I'd be a little too nervous letting the children loose with felting needles so we could maybe do it using wet felting techniques. Maybe we could use fleece from different coloured sheep and blend the colours together? An exciting idea but will it work? If not this could be worth saving for older children. I just love the beautiful designs on the indigo rabbit!
