I too enjoy needle felting. Jabbing away with the needle is very therapeutic until you hit your finger with it. I have a leather finger shield but it is always when i have not bothered with it that my finger gets it. I lost my husband at the beginning of January and did not do any painting for some time. However started up again in the Summer and am enjoying it again. Hopefully you will too. xxx

@Misprint , these are AMAZING. I made a hare with needle felting when I went on a course to do it. I enjoyed it and bought extra wool and some books. I’ve never had the confidence to do any other 3D shapes though.
We did some at our village craft club when we felted inside a pastry cutter to make heart shapes we could make into a mobile. I haven’t connected mine up yet though. Did a mini Christmas pud too.

I mostly knit, crochet and quilt. Craft keeps me sane but some nights I can’t make myself do anything except play games on my iPad. No concentration!

@Misprint there are quite a lot on Amazon. I have a couple from there but still need to get round to trying the things in them. Wish I lived near enough for you to teach me.

I would if you was nearer . Lots of videos on YouTube showing how to do it . Give it a go just keep fingers out of way its painful if you stab fingers.

I’ve just finished the next memory bear in time for my daughter’s birthday on Friday.
The dress is made from Richard’s jeans and the paws and ear inside detail from his t shirts.
