For the Birds

Updated 5/12/07

I saw something like this in a local hardware store, a mesh bag filled with wool roving, and was inspired to create my own bag of fiber for the birds in our yard. Every spring and summer, while building their nests, they've helped dismantle one or two of our hammocks. I'm hoping this will provide a welcome alternate source of fibers for their nests.

I used an avocado bag from Costco and several months' worth of snips from my knitting projects. Birds in our yard will cosset their nestlings with alpaca, wool, mohair, and the fiber which dare not speak its name (acrylic - shhhhh).
