Could there be anything more kitsch than knitting your own nits?

Why not try a quirky knitting pattern from Kirsty Gordon, which produces woollen nits (pictured left) the size of a field mouse? All you need is a bit of leftover yarn and a few basic stitches.

If you are a knitting novice, it’s easy to learn online. Check out sites such as knittinghelp.com for videos on how to master the basics.
