From Suzette: This is my version of Sophie, as in, I sort of followed the pattern.

I used two strands of Bendigo Rustic on 10 mm circulars. I had the idea of dark at the bottom grading to light at the top, which looks a bit harsh in the pre-felted form.

I was a little random in the decreases - they were meant to be every ten rows, however I often forgot and found myself doing them after about twelve rows and then whenever it looked appropriate.

The original handles didn't grab me so I knitted two I-cords using double strand and four stitches across and then sewed them on after felting.
