Drumstick Earrings

How cute are these?

Well, I like them, anyway.

I worked the pattern in the round entirely, natch. Stuffed with just the yarn ends, nothing more. I worked the bony bumps at the end by simply taking the cast-on tail and going down through the middle, out at round two, bring it over on the outside, back through the middle - repeat until it looks right, coming out on different points each time.
