Christmas Crafts 2012

Was just windering if anyone on here does needlefelting or wet felting? These are my absolute fave crafts and plan to wet felt a few pairs of slippers this year well a pair for my mum - I think the lasts are quite expensive. I also knit and crochet. bit stuck on what sort of thing to make to be honest! Ideally wanted a gift per couple rather than one each. Any ideas knitted/felted/crocheted!?!?

hey guys, i'd love to join you all however i'm a complete novice at crafting! i last sewed a decade ago but i have high expectations. I shall need lots of handholding plus bum kicking to get on with it! I'm hoping to sew a bear for a toddler for a christmas pressie (told you i have high expectations!) and i'm in love with sock monkeys! So shall be making a few of those. I love some of the decorations on here already.

I've wanted to try needlefelting for a while now but life has been so busy I've not got round to it! I've knitted and felted bags in the washing machine quite successfully and they have made excellent presents.
