Well, since I talked about this SO much and asked SO many questions here, I felt it only right to show you all my first felted wool creations.

I'm so proud of myself!

Not bad for a first attempt. The mittens are lined with the burgundy wool you see in the pic as is the neck gator. Both were made for super cold weather. I'm sending these out to my best friend in Minnesota to test 'em out.

Let me know what you think.

While it is not brain surgery, I sure had a few moments in the middle if the project where I sure felt like it was! LOL!
