Felted Fungus, Apple and Pickle Giveaway!

June 27, 2008 |

I did an article on the Myriads of Felted Mushrooms by Kathryn Ivy and when I am watching TV at night I have been knitting and needles felting these little treasures.  I made my own double pointed needles from free chopsticks and did get a few splinters, but kept the sand paper near and everything smoothed out in the end. For the most part I followed Kathryn’s instructions but did put my own spin on the mushrooms and then made-up the pickle and Apple patterns.  I used another suggested idea from another article of hand felting with a bar of soap instead of the machine felting.  It was easy and I had very clean hands.   I wanted to share something I made with all of you.  Leave a comment and grab my heart and they will be yours :)

    I also had to laugh at the pickle and still snickering at the smurf comment. My first thought when seeing the mushrooms was my gram’s kitchen. Very 70’s and full of mushrooms everywhere! i loved it. Apples are sweet but the mushroom is tugging my attention! so cute!

    Hi Linda,

    Fabulous, felted, fungi!

    The pickle is a riot, by the way, but the mushrooms are the best.

    I love the mushrooms. They are adorable and a great way to use up small amount of thread.

    Very nice! And you needle felt while watching TV, that’s kind of scary… I’ve tried that but the dangers outweight the benenfits!

    I love that pickle!

    I am Amanda and I love this felting site you have the coolest stuff. I would love to have these adorable Fungus, pickle and apple. My sister Jessica wants them also. So I hope we win and them we can split them. We are ages 13 and 14 and we are fifteen months apart, so we are very competitive. We both love crafting and come to Craft Gossip to see what is new. Please pick us because we love you and all the columns on the site. We are young so we will be around a long time :)

    Hugs, Amanda & Jessica
