Felting Fun

Carolyn came over today to do some felting. I wanted to refelt both my large square market bag, and my little green handspun to see if I could get them to tighten up a little more. I was really unhappy with the market bag before, we'll see how I like it after it dries.

But who cares aout the bags. Carolyn made the cutest cloche hat but was not totally sure it would actually felt up the way it was suppose to. Why do you think she thought that - LOL! Here are two "before" pictures:

She said she was smiling for this picture. It's funny how we are all creatures of habit.

And here is the finished product. It turned out so cute and she only had to wear the wet hat a little bit to make sure it matched her head size.

Felting is like magic. We both had bags to felt, plus she had the hat. I have a fedora hat pattern I picked up about a year ago and am planning on making and felting that. Then I plan to get some Cascade 22o at Margaret's and make up the homespun Ali sent me, along with some black and steel blue.

Can you guess I got all the fruit caps done? Now I just have to make to rainbow sleep sets and I can get back to making another short sleeve tee for myself.
