I love felt balls. Round, soft, warm, bouyant (yes, they float), and beautiful, I could hardly ask more of a ball. I was inspired to make a handmade gift for my (almost) one-year-old by Amanda Blake Soule's lovely blog, Soule Mama. She also happened to make felt balls for her one year old, using the knit-then -felt method. Since I am a novice knitter, I went for the straight felting method. Following these directions, I produced three rainbow-hued, baseball-sized balls in about an hour. If time permits, I will add pictures via needle felting.
