19th Dec: Looks like my little hands can only take about 5 rows high or it goes over my knuckle. The other alternative is to try to squish the back so that it’s higher at the front and shorter at the back. So far I’ve made 3 of which 2 have been felted perfectly.

Using various colours of Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift wool, originally bought to make gnome homes.

I’ve made many more than the three pictured here but I have a habit of losing them or giving them away before taking a photo! These are the ugly ones I don’t want to give away because they’re embarrassing so it’s ironic that they end up on display here!
