 Woolly Birds have just migrated to Minnesota!

 
Create a robin, a cardinal or a chickadee all from this same pattern. Or how about creating your own bird? one with polka dots and embroidery? Samples to come soon.
 
The bird is knit in one piece using 10-1/2 double point needles. The wings and tail are attached by picking up stitches. The special details are added, after felting, using needle felting and wool roving. 
 
Don't forget your Woolly Nest & Eggs! The birds tuck perfectly within their home-made nest! See below.

Happy Spring! and the Woolly Nest & Eggs patterns are here!

Click here on More Nests! to see four more nests I have created. The nests are addictive to knit and felt. Each one is unique. Have fun playing with the various color combinations, novelty yarns, ribbons, raffia and whimsical rickrack available. Create that one-of-a-kind habitat for that one-of-a-kind bird.

I'd love to see what you come up with. Email me your favorite nest photos and the yarns you used. We can share them with everyone, creating a nest gallery. Email me at woollysnowman@q.com.
