A New Hobby?

I've been on the look out for a while now for different things to occupy my seemingly endless free time. I love crocheting - but there's only so much you can do!

I've always wanted to try needle felting, so the other week I bought myself a starter kit from Ebay...


Yay! You get 50g of GB wool tops, 3 needles in different sizes, a foam block, handle and instructions. I played about for a little while, after watching some videos on trusty old YouTube, and after half an hour or so (and an aching arm!) I got this; my first needle felted thing!


Lol! Not too sure what it is - just a blob with a face really! I've made a little man since, but he hasn't got a face yet (I need more colours of wool). I'll show you when he's finished :)

I think I'm going to buy more wool and keep at it. It's not easy getting the shape you want (the face above was ment to be a ball...) but, like with crochetng, I'm sure over time I'll improve :)
