Sleepy foxes

Just when I thought my knitted pieces had become as ridiculously small as they could or should... here's something even smaller - a curled up sleepy fox, about 2.5cm diameter.
I've knitted and stuffed these with Jamieson's Shetland wool, then welt felted them and embroidered them with more Shetland wool, cotton floss and tiny glass beads. I've attached them to either brooch or pin backs - I like brooch backs best for woven fabrics and pin backs best for knitted fabrics and permanent attachment to wovens.
I'm taking this little troop of sleepy fox brooches off to my pop-up on Saturday morning, 18th April 2026 at the Woolly Good Gathering. I did find them a little compulsive to knit (although hard on your hands to knit at tight tension and with extreme increasing and decreasing for shaping, not to mention the brutal hand wet felting), so I'll also put some onto my online shop.
