These are some before and after felting pictures. Both patterns came from Knitty. Peggy finished her French Market Bag and my very own Fuzzy Feet were all set for a dip in the yarn jacuzzi! The market bag felted right away in about five minutes …. my slippers however, took their sweet time. As I kept checking their progress, more things were thrown into the machine ….. first a towel, then some tennis balls and finally I put the tennis balls inside of the slippers! I thought that they would felt instantly since this is the yarn that I spun myself. I wonder if the overtwisting in some areas led to it taking longer ….. In any case, here are my slippers all set for the chill! I am thinking of giving that French Market Bag a try — how nice did that turn out??

Ricki also had some show-and-tell of the non-felting king. Here she is wearing her ….. um, I guess you would call it a tunic. What would you call it? Tunic doesn’t seem quite right. Whatever you call it, our Ricki proves once and for all that knitting can be sexy! Pa070003Pa070005

The weekend is shaping up to be a busy one! Hope you all have a wonderful Columbus Day!

  1. Your felting looks fabulous. I haven’t been here for a little while ~ I luv the template.

    Ricki tunica looks wonderful – so wonderful I want to make one too. What yarn and pattern did she use?

  2. Ricki looks fabulous. So does the tunic. Wish I had her youthful good looks!

    The market bag is a good mindless stockinette project. I made mine taller than the pattern called for, maybe get an extra skein. It is quite a handy little bag to have.

    This reminds me, I really should start whippin out some other felted stuff for holiday gifts.
