Felting, felting, everywhere!

These are tiny toy mice that I knitted then felted.  I split the underside once they were dry and stuffed them, then did some face sculpting and finished off with embroidery.
Very fun as church mice for my toddler friends at church!


First venture into knitted and felted mittens.  I modified a pattern I had and found it to fit nicely.  I wanted a different cuff, though...


Nice fit for my hands...


I knitted the cuff in a wool/acrylic blend; then changed needle size and continued a modified pattern.  Once felted to fit, I found the cuff to be perfect.  It doesn't felt during the process due to not being made of 100% wool.


Dried and cuff turned------the two blues don't match perfectly but they are a good complement.
Other mitten is almost done!
Check back for slippers I have been doing......very fun and toasty warm, even if it for NEXT fall and winter.
