More New Toys: Clover Felting Kit

On a blog that I've been randomly following, I came across a smart hint:  For yarn that is 100% wool, to join both ends, simply felt it together (how ingenious! ;)).   So, she showed how she did it with a felting needle and a big solid foam piece.   Since I neither had a felting needle nor wanted to keep a solid foam piece (that might disintegrate in a drawer or box I would probably store it in), I decided that I'd invest in a mini/small felting kit.  So, of course I checked to see if Clover made one (and, duh!  of course they do - they make the coolest products! ;)); then asked my favorite yarn shop to see if they carried it (or at the very least order it for me).

And, of course, while they didn't have any in stock, they ordered it for me. :)  And here it is:

I've already used it on a project I'm working on for my father-in-law (a blog for that to be coming out shortly) and the concept worked perfectly! *yay* :)

And while I was there to pick up my kit, I saw this:

I couldn't resist!  Finally, a Bulletproof Sweet Georgia yarn in a color Hubby loves and I get to try it out! ;)  I've seen this brand while we were up in Vancouver and in Seattle but never found a color either of us really like.  Amazingly, I found it here (and in a color we both liked) at home! :P *double yay* ;)
