Hand-knit pants in the wild. They are very comfy!
I acquired these yarns from my mom many years ago. For a long time I didn't know what to do with these rather novelty yarns, but this year a light bulb lit up in my head and thought this tweedy boucle yarn could obscure the crotch area perfectly.

日 (Sun / Day) is one of the most fundamental kanji characters in Japan, as it is part of the country name Nippon (日本 - Sun Root or root of the sun)
It is also part of my designer name Nikko (日光 - Sun Light)
Have a great 日 (day)!
Nippon (Japan) Headband is a free pattern of mine from 2019!

Is there a name to this pattern? What would you call it?
To me it looks like the kanji character 米 (Rice).

Felting study using the Cha (茶 = Tea) coaster
These are before and after photos of felting. 100% non-superwash wool, went through a hot water wash and tumble dry cycle with towels.
The width did not change much, but the height was noticeably shortened.
