Felting

We decided to give "hand felting" a try this summer so a friend of mine crocheted some "stuffies" for the kids- she made all the pieces and I sewed them together.  The kids had picked the patterns so they knew what they were getting, and then we gave it a try.  We worked on these one at a time over several weeks.

All done!

I let them each choose the amount of felting they wanted to do, so the crochet stitches show different amounts on each one, but they are all happy so that is what counts!
