Felted Bag Details

The bags took me a day each to make. The funnest and scariest part was putting them in the washing machine and waiting to see what would become of them. I placed them in one at a time (I knew that the purple one would run!) with a bathmat and sat back and waited. No - not really, I was like a little kid watching there favourite toy going around and around in the machine LOL.

Anyway - they are approx 30cm long before felting. The following photo comes with a story and is for the benefit of two knitting girls. On Thursday night we met at a local ice creamery for a coffee and gelati! Sitting there minding our own business approx 10 teens walked in. One of which sat beside me. Had a dig at me because I was knitting and said that it was boring. And then - it gets better - Asked it I would make him a hat. I politly told him that "No! I would not knit him a hat, because I had other things that I wanted to knit for my children" He then wanted me to place the bag on his head - see told you there was a story.

So here you go. One bag on my head.



And with its friend after felting.
