Felting

the other day Margarita and I tried our hand at felting.  Not my very first time, but first actual project felt.  I had a few free formed crocheted bags waiting around to be felted and a swatch for the upcoming cowl and she and I had made bangles for each other.  Time to felt.  Better throw in a pair of jeans a couple other things in the washer to agitate.  Only need to check the front pockets, what do I ever keep in my back pockets?  OH, only the coolest little notebook ever with a bunch of writing and knitting and other sorts of awesome ideas in it.  .....

notes lost.  Felted knits very white and icky.  Fixed after lots of picking and muliple washings.

Two of the bags were the same yarn different color.  Purple felted wonderfully.  Green, barely at all.  

Swatch of Forrest Perfection Manos del Uruguay felted wonderfully.  Haven't written down new sizes yet.  

Even when I want alone time I miss Margarita when she's gone because it's so much better knitting next to someone who's nuts about it like you.
