I finally felted the green bag - and here it is!!!!

I feel terrifically accomplished, even though I see that I had vowed to felt three things by now. The green bag turned out so beautifully - so what if I’m behind schedule?

Kim is right - it really is like knitting for Hagrid. Or Bigfoot. Then comes the alchemical process of the washing machine and the grand transformation. I see why so many knitters are in love with felting - it’s like transfiguration for Muggles.

And the secret to good results is so simple - stop the washing machine every five minutes to check on progress. I know this is a bug “duh” for some of you, but maybe it will help other reluctant felters. Now I’ll be ransacking my stash to put new felting projects together.

The bag is lovely to wear - it caresses the shoulder and hangs just right. The contents are very secure even without a zipper or flap or other closure at the top. This is a great design by Cat Bordhi.
