Back to my own knitting.

I finally finished the never ending felt project, I did it by hand in the sink. Which for those of you who have never felted the directions never include the following advice: DO NOT HAND FELT ON HOT HUMID DAYS, ESPECIALLY IN YOUR BATHROOM. I created such a balmy environment I triggered a seizure in J, oops! Heat is one of his triggers, so I guess I need to wait for cold days to felt or go to Mom's. So I was agitating and agitating it didn't seem to be working and then all of a sudden whoosh it shrunk, like magic before my eyes from 30x18 to 22x15 just like the pattern said it would. The self patterning yarn created this beautiful fabric and now all I have to do is finish the cables and attach them to create my very own needle case. I also felted a stretched out headband I made awhile back and it is not only nicer than ever but I dried it on my head it fits just right. Oh, and one other thing the books didn't warn me about, might as well wash the dog the same day you felt since the whole house is going to smell like wet dog anyway.
