Trolling for compliments

Here are two gnome/trolls that DD felted from a kit.
If I can find a source for boucle "hair" I'll probably make more as gifts!
I'm sure they only do good deeds.

A Joy-Fulled Pair

Remember a couple of weeks ago when I was knitting bowls and boxes? Well, I finally ran them through the wash. (There was a shocking pink tweed hat in there... but I forgot to take a photo of it. Perhaps the recipient will forward me one!

Anyway, here is an eggplant "bowl." It is actually rectangular. And the toy polar bear doesn't much help with scale! It has some paperclips and glitter stars in it which gives more of a clue. It is about 3 x 4 inches.

I free-form knitted a "box" I may need to do something different about the "lid" because obviously it doesn't cope with the bulging sides very well.

Just the same, I was happy with the I-cord loop and "button."



I made several bowls in Christmasy colors and filled them with candy. They sold well for my PEO fundraiser. Do you think it was the chocolate or the bowls?

If I have time, I'm going to make some stitch markers with wire/beading supplies I got during the summer.
