an historic knit

• my camera is not working properly (wrote broken at first but don't want that to be true, so...);
• i can't document my current projects well with my cellphone (see overly bright elefante below);
• i was looking at my iphoto collection
• ergo, historic knit!

my first felted box (last spring), featuring

• manos del uruguay wool, two skeins, 1 green and 1 green blend variegated, held together throughout
  
• my mother-in-law's handmade porcelain button
• modified version of the mason-dixon one (ravelry link)
  

i love it, but i gave it to my mother-in-law. it's just the right size for incoming mail. i forgot to put the usual kleenex box next to it for purposes of scale.

i hated to felt that yummy yarn, but it demanded to be cast on immediately, and i wanted to make a felted box. i really liked how it turned out so went back and got a rust blend variegated and a solid brick color to make a companion box pour moi. so far it has not been done. maybe i'll make a bag.

something different ;0)
