This ain't your Grandma's knitting circle


It's sharp needles, blood and zombies! It's called needle felting and its the next wave of craftiness, though I consider it more of a stress relief. Needle felting is quite easy, all you do is take a sharp-corrugated needle and stab at a piece of unlucky wool till the object you desire begins to take shape. It helps to work on top of a piece of dense foam to catch the needle and also to wear protective finger caps. I learned this the hard way after stabbing myself repeatedly trying to make a felt button for the first time.


These are some creative pieces that have been made in the felting circle. Bring your own needle, felt and foam, we'll provide the band-aids. If you bleed on the chicken, it can easily become a Zombie chicken.
