Not Just an Experiment
I think I'm felting obsessed!
Bowls in various stages of felting. One unfelted, two completely felted (like the one to hold business cards?), and two after one trip to the washer.
I just can't get enough of this! The knitting is easy and quick. I'm not using a pattern so I can combine any colors I want and make it any size I want. And I love reaching into the washer after the cycle is complete to see what magic has happened.
The other felted obsession right now are these:
The image on the left is the striped slippers from Knit One, Felt Too with one glaring error - can you see it? On the right are the slippers pre-felting. They're huge. Giant sized even!
Then they went in the washer where the hot water-soap-aggitation magic happens...
After one washing, they were still a little loose...
Another cycle in the washer, and they fit perfect! They're thick, warm and cozy. The only problem was that it was about 95 degrees out when I was trying these on. My feet started sweating immediately. This from someone who usually wears socks all the time. (OK, maybe not when it's 95 out).
