Two days ago I snagged my scarf on a branch; pulled free with just a wisp behind. Laid my head on my pillow and I heard needles click all through my dreams. Now I come back and there's knitted growths all a-cluster. Do they think I left them a gift? #AskAFairySmith Artist: Bromleigh

A stump-like collection of wood projects up from a forest floor. Gathered around its base is a nest of knitted orange mushrooms, poised as if they'd grown from it.
