Well, the size of your ...Hi There Deb( & Jean)!<br />Well, the size of your finished bird will depend on the weight of yarn you use. I used worsted weight & larger needles for a more open gauge before felting. Also....felting is difficult to control so the size you get is a bit unpredictable as well! When you cut the bird from the "oval" I held it with the garter stitch pattern horizontally which isn't spelled out in the instructions.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775699478631492424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555334007892884429.post-40718850613012533442010-09-15T17:21:36.682-04:002010-09-15T17:21:36.682-04:00Love the end product, but am wondering what the di...Love the end product, but am wondering what the dimensions are prior to felting. When I followed the directions, my oval came out much smaller than the finished product, which doesn't make sense to me. I must be doing something wrong. :(Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12232620330950018682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555334007892884429.post-34631220424135212022010-02-03T08:42:46.705-05:002010-02-03T08:42:46.705-05:00Thanks Cal:) I've thought about that bird chai...Thanks Cal:) I've thought about that bird chain idea as well!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775699478631492424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555334007892884429.post-12382908162230843052010-01-27T12:45:30.518-05:002010-01-27T12:45:30.518-05:00T think I would make several of these little birds...T think I would make several of these little birds in different colours and put them in a vertical string, with bells at the bottom and beads on the string in between the birds. I would probably include the wing as part of the knitting and use a bead for the eye.<br />I wouldn't felt them though because the last time I felted something it was ruined, and the colours ran.Cal at Northern Sky Knittinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146670640645859342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555334007892884429.post-3392274067288090262009-11-20T23:31:09.925-05:002009-11-20T23:31:09.925-05:00Thank you all for your comments:)Thank you all for your comments:)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775699478631492424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555334007892884429.post-36999927878133122772009-11-14T15:57:21.791-05:002009-11-14T15:57:21.791-05:00Love these little birds.

I think the cutting and stitching gives it an heirloom feeling. I hope I can replicate the wing embroidery that you did!
