Refashion: felted scraps to wrist pincushion

I accidently felted a sweater this autumn and had been trying to refashion for ages. First, I made mittens for my daughter that were too small. Then I tried to make wristwarmers out of the ends of the sleeves, but it was just weird.

So finally, I used a scrap of the cuff, a piece of calico fabric from my stash, and a little piece of elastic to make a wrist pincushion. I have long felt like I needed one of these. While sewing I end up holding pins in my mouth (eeek, I know!) or scattering them all around, to the annoyance of the mister and my offspring. 

I have enough sweater bits left to try to make a neckwarmer, lined with some leftover fleece from another sewing project, so will try to get this done before we go skiing in February. And post here, of course.
