Before felting
After felting
I am so amazed at the loopy fuzziness that comes out of the washing machine after 20mins of hot swooshing with a pair of jeans. I can't stop looking at it and feeling it's fuzzy texture. The bag actually stands up nicely by itself, but wasn't very dry in the pics so needed some help.
I also made my first set of stitch markers to go with my first knitted bag. My exchange pal likes green, so hopefully these go down well.
I have begun quilting the BOL quilt, but it has to come out again as the colour is too revealing. I chose a varigated green cotton but the dark bits are too dark, and not the best for a beginner like me! It will show up all my slip ups!!! I am going to buy some camoflaged thread tomorrow so it's all ready for an all nighter sewing session on Friday night.

Oh Joy - It looks great felted up. I love the effect of felting! Will have to give it a go when I can find someone with a top loader!
well done! I like the chevron pattern on the bag. i have a front loader now and have not made anything felted since then!
Wow, the bag looks fantastic, what a difference the felting makes! I love the stitch markers too and your quilt is looking fantastic!

Oh, and if you have that problem with Blogger again where you can't name a post, try flicking to the html view. It worked for me the other day.
