yes!!! He probably took about 3-4 hours. Not an expert obviously at my first attempt.

Hmmm - well taking into account my ability to HAVE to felt things (like jumpers) on account of my tension being all wrong. I may have to try it

I blame an awful lot of things on That Sally! I think she has rather a lot to answer for! Wot do I need to know about needle felting then? Do I just make basic felt (slippers, perchance?) and poke more fleece on with the felting needle?

Every home should have a desk dragon - trouble is they like to nest in mess - hence the reason my desk is never tidy (well thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it ) He's lovely Mrs F - Watcha gonna call him ? My dragon is called Cheddar cos he came from Cheddar Gorge

Nope definitely not and I've just reread the thread and realised that he's called Thingymas

on a technical note, there were 2 needles in the kit - I think one was finer than the other, but not sure - one snapped during usage. Those that do needle felting do you use a selection of needles?

I use the same type throughout, I know you can get different ones but I find the multipurpose sort more than adequate for what we do
