46 Modern Beaded Wood Trivet

46. Modern Beaded Wood Trivet: This simple DIY trivet is perfect for tea-brewing winter months and a great gift for design lovers. Not only does it embody two of my current obsessions geometric shapes and color-blocking against unfinished wood but it also is super practical and can be separated into three individual trivets.

47 Felt Hot Pads

47. Felt Hot Pads: Sometimes we get a new product in that is so universally adored by the entire staff of Purl Soho that we know we need to make a Purl Bee project out of it. Our latest obsession is the new natural colorway of the Mary Flanagan Felted Wool called “Oatmeal”. It soft and fluffy and ever so slightly heathered in gorgeous natural ecru and brown shades. Every time I pass by it’s shelf in the store I want to pull it out and touch it. I have always loved Mary Flanagan’s whole spectrum of 13-inch by 16-inch pieces of felted wool. They are so fluffy and soft. I’ve sewn it into all kinds of things, from baby dolls, to blankets, to mittens. This time I wanted to make something you could use, see, and touch every day.
