Last time I wrote, I told you about the blanket I was making for my nephew. I am pleased to tell you that he was born last week, and both he and his mother are home and doing well.
A while ago I asked my Sister-in-law if she wanted anything for her nursery, and she asked for a Narnia-themed baby mobile. I’d never made a mobile before, but I asked myself, how hard can it be? and dived right in. I saw 2 main options: knitting or felting. Felting seemed the faster and more detailed route, so that’s what I did.
I made a lion…
Lucy Pevensie…
Mr. Tumnus…
and a book.
I made the frame of the mobile with a medium and very thin dowel and some hemp cord.
I think it turned out quite nicely!
When I finished with it I sent it to my sister, who makes the most adorable tiny knitted animals.
She added a hedgehog and a rabbit…
a sheep…
and a bumblebee.
I couldn’t be more pleased with how the mobile turned out. I hope it sparks my nephew’s imagination for a long time to come.

What a lovely and clever gift!
Thank you! It was surprisingly fun to make.
