Another Bowl, Only Larger
Amazing. This:

Someone suggested that I should take orders and sell these. Hmmm.
Finished size: 3.5 inches tall x 5.5 inches diameter (18.5 inches circumference). Made with two strands held together of a skein of Cascade 220 (220 yards, 100% wool) and a two strands held together of a ball of Crystal Palace Aran Marl (102 yards, 100% wool, color 3005) on size 15 circular 24" needles and size 15 dpns. Used the pattern from One Skein.

That was done by magic, wasn’t it?

It certainly seems like it’s magic!

do you have to block it, or does it literally just come out of the dryer that way? amazing — thanks for the before and after…

That is beautiful and somehow reminds me of a little birds’ nest. I wonder if you put it up in a tree if it would be adopted? The bird family would be the envy of the neighborhood.

I agree with the suggestion that you think about selling them. They’re really beautiful. What a lovely shape and texture - such an interesting accessory for a room.

acm - I block it by fitting it over the outside of a bowl I already have. Usually felted things should not be put in the dryer because you want to manually shape them and let them air dry.
Denise - I’m leaving tomorrow for 2 weeks, and would love to talk about what you might like. When I return I’ll email to see if your interest remains and so forth.
