Bird's Nest Pincushion

In October, during NY Sheep & Wool, I purchased a lot of yarn and a few books, one of which was Closely Knit by Hannah Fettig.  I eyed the book a few months before, but didn't buy it. At NYSW I got to meet Ms. Fettig and look and feel the projects from her book.  Afterward, I decided to buy the book. Since October, her book has been sitting on my bookshelf.  Well, up until now.  A couple of weeks ago I started  flipping through her book and decided to give the Bird's Nest Pincushion.

I ended up using the yarn called for in the pattern, Classic Elite Premiere.  Premiere is a soft pima cotton/tencel blend.  Besides knitting the nest,  I also knitted the eggs.  I used a provisional cast-on, which was a first for me.
