Now I Know Why This Is So Much Fun!

Yes, ladies and gents: I finished my first felted item! Some hot water, a little Ivory liquid, a pair of sneakers and within 5 minutes, we have achieved FELT. It's a little bit of magic taking place inside my Kenmore top-loader. Not too shabby for the first time out. Plus it will actually be usable as a project bag:


I've picked out some more Malabrigo 6-ply merino and found a pattern for felted clogs. My friends and I will have some toasty tootsies during this Chicago winter.

Another bonus: perhaps wearing these will keep me from breaking any more toes (ouch)!
