From Pattern Description:
When my daughter, Olivia, was six months old, she began getting into everything. And tragically, it became necessary to baby-proof our home. I am a person who values aesthetics and craves beautiful surroundings, and this was a fate I was dreading. My beloved ironstone nesting bowls, beautiful pinecone collection, and precious silver tray from Argentina had all become hazards overnight. So I decided to start making things that were both pleasing to the eye and safe for tiny, curious hands. This tray was one of my first experiments in making a container from knitted, felted wool. It’s wonderful for holding remotes or as a stand-alone piece. Try knitting two in different sizes and nesting them together.
