MLCCB #63: Felt Knitting Christmas Land

 Hello Crafty Friends :o)

Christmas in July it is ..... This is my post for MLCCB, anything Christmas.

My boys got me an advent calendar for felt knitting and I LOVED it!!!  Taking the wool and sculpting it into little magical pieces was very mindful. 

Lots of presents and some trees.

The sleigh was presents.  Some of the finer details could be difficult, but I was learning with each piece how to take small pieces of wool to make the details.

Santa was fun.  I made his hat differently and the white really fluffy.  His beard is just rolling the wool.

Just small pieces of tiny wool to make the POST letters.

Baby deer in a stocking... how cute

The house, which was the hardest part, because each wall had to be precise.

The needles are very sharp doing this felt knitting, so wear the little leather finger covers they give you in the kit and buy a few extra to protect a few more fingers.  Most kits come with 1-3 needles, but a few more, because they will break sometimes doing the simplest detail work.

thanks for looking and reading :o)
