I just posted this tutorial on how to make a polymer clay notions or trinket box with a knit stitch design on my Hubpages.
I used the same technique to make a "knit" brooch. I trimmed my clay design to fit in a brooch blank. Then I added the "fuzzy" saying by rolling a small egg of clay, flattening it with a dowel, then using alphabet stamps to add the lettering. I made this little word oval separately and didn't stick it over my knit stitches until I had it right. I'm not going to lie - it took several tries to get the lettering lined up and centered on my oval.
Why I chose the word "fuzzy"? I couldn't say. It kinda refers to knitting and seemed funny at the time :)
Once my clay piece was baked and cooled, I glued it into a wooden brooch blank from artbase on etsy. Their pieces are lovely. I made another pin with one of their brooch pieces here.
