It was a bit of a suprise (well, a complete surprise, really), but I quickly realised it&#39;d be more bootie knitting on the horizon. I just as quickly flagged that idea, and decided that I&#39;d make something impractical out of felt instead. </p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00b8ea07179a1bc000e398b562260002" at:format="medium" at:align="left" class="enclosure enclosure-left enclosure-medium photo-enclosure" style="text-align: center; float: left;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item photo-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://shessassy.vox.com/library/photo/6a00b8ea07179a1bc000e398b562260002.html"><img src="http://a6.vox.com/6a00b8ea07179a1bc000e398b562260002-200pi" alt="mobile-stars" title="mobile-stars" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://shessassy.vox.com/library/photo/6a00b8ea07179a1bc000e398b562260002.html" title="mobile-stars">mobile-stars</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <p>I initially&#160;had visions of little animals, but searching through my felt supplies (yes, I have so much I need to search), I came across some stars I&#39;d actually cut out and sewn last year as Christmas decorations, but discarded (going with ever so slightly <a href="http://shessassy.vox.com/library/photo/6a00b8ea07179a1bc000e398b57a930005.html">more traditional colours</a>).
