Bait taken, wool chosen, they may even get started tonight (although I suspect they will end up getting kept back for Christmas )
Well they have been knitted and sewn up. Only took two evenings. Now to felt them. Fingers crossed as last time I knitted slippers to felt they came out from the machine only big enough to fit a toddler! I've used £20 worth of pure alpaca wool which I discovered in my wool stash. I'm tempted to try felting by hand at that price.
I have a multi needle felting tool. It has four needles in a handle. Very quick to felt a bigger piece of work. Yes don't forget to use a wool thread to sew them up too.
