Yesterday at the farmer’s market I stopped by the booth of a woman who makes amazing needle-felted birds, mostly owls. I’ve admired her work before and I couldn’t help drifting over towards her table when I saw her display yesterday. And she’s friendly. The end result was that I bought a little felting needle. It was only a dollar, after all! And I love trying new things.
So, this afternoon I remembered that the needle was still zipped into the change compartment of my wallet and I took it out and looked around for something wool to experiment on. I settled on a sweater that I’ve half-unraveled. I grabbed a scrap of yarn and started poking it. Then I added another bit of yarn. And another. And another…
Do I need to tell you how much fun it is to stab things with a sharp object and make them turn all fuzzy?

Needle felting is fun! I only started over a month ago and it’s so addictive. I make mostly tiny critters and even broke a needle once. Haha.
