Chestnut Drift
Winter Path Keeper
Chestnut Drift is one of the ten Winter Residents, newly arrived in Pebblewood. Each one is individually designed and hand-knitted in the Boyne Valley, Ireland, given a role in Pebblewood, finished with a felted accessory and numbered within the collection.
As Winter Path Keeper, Chestnut Drift is first out on a frosty morning, clearing the snow and fallen branches from the paths so the Residents can find their way between their homes. Chestnut Drift knows every track through Pebblewood: the north-facing paths and the hollows under the trees that hold their ice longest, the slopes where wet leaves turn slippery, and the low places where meltwater gathers and freezes again overnight. Chestnut Drift scatters grit and wood ash on the worst of them, keeps the ditches clear so the thaw can drain away, and marks the path edges with hazel stakes when the snow lies deep.
Decorative collectible item. Not intended as a toy. Intended for collectors aged 14 and over.
Inspired by Mary Jane's Tearoom knitting patterns
Description
The shovel, needle-felted over a pipe cleaner armature so it holds its shape, and made by Pat especially for Chestnut Drift, marks this Resident's place among the Winter Residents.
Hand-knitted in an alpaca and wool blend, Chestnut Drift wears brown dungarees with wooden buttons, a matching satchel, and a hat with a bead and a long knitted tail ending in a small copper bell. Pat has finished the dungarees with a green and beige gingham patterned fabric patch. Like every Pebblewood bear, Chestnut Drift carries the needle-felted merino wool heart on the right paw, the signature of a Crafty Pebblers Resident.
