Knitted in the round after I finished all increases.

When I could no longer keep the sts in the round, I started to knit flat again. Seamed up the bottom and stuffed with plastic bags from the produce section in the supermarket.

Every year we have problems with wasps, especially and repeatedly in the deck box where we keep cushions and folding chairs.
We bought a couple of fake paper nests which we hung up in the more sheltered areas, I.e. the front porch and shed.
I knitted this one for the areas on the deck and fence which are more exposed to the weather. Between stuffing this with plastic bags and having used the fisherman’s wool which should felt nicely, I think this has a good chance to survive and hopefully keep wasps at bay.
I recently was stung by one in my ankle,so I am REALLY not fond of them.
