Guess you do have to be careful substituting when felting especially when you need a certain fit. Can't wait to see your circle bag finished. Looks like fun.<BR/><BR/>Poor Robin and poor you :( He probably needs therapy ;)<BR/><BR/>happy knitting :)hakuchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974995854081488052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363968.post-64634519135454152342007-06-15T23:27:00.000-05:002007-06-15T23:27:00.000-05:00I have no advice to offer in regards to your robin...I have no advice to offer in regards to your robin dilemma, and I have to admit until I saw the outside of the window sill I thought it was sweet. Obviously Sumo will be no help.

At any rate, it couldn't hurt to try it.Shelley L.

Is there something you could put up so he can't see himself?<BR/>We've used big plastic owls in the garden to keep birds away, I guess you need a big owl picture to put in the window! ; )rohanknitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204689018718224728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363968.post-90622460022270585582007-06-13T19:48:00.000-05:002007-06-13T19:48:00.000-05:00Hmmm - Weird bird!

They put up something that looked like an aluminum foil hula skirt on the outside of the window. The wind waved it around and the it kept him away. If that doesn't work how about a picture of a mean cat?<BR/><BR/>The tote looks cute, can't wait to see it done.

I would have thought a sticker of another bird would discourage it. <BR/>Good work with your circle tote! I have never tried intarsia. <BR/>Also, have not been to centre island yet but we were talking about it the other day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
