Hello there. Well this is my new purse that I just finished. It was a learning process on this one. I tried felting it in my front loader by checking it every 5 minutes. I took it out after 15 minutes and rinsed it and rolled in a towel. It was too flimsy for me and after talking with Pam about it, I threw it back in the washer this morning. After the first felting it was 14"x14 1/2" and did not hold it's shape. After the second felting, where I did let it spin for a minute, it is 10 1/2"x10 3/4" and is thicker and holds it's shape better. Just thought I would share that you can refelt one even after it is dry. The first photo shows the 1st
felting and the other two are the 2nd felting. Have a good one ladies.

Good job of experimentation Pamo and you can tell from the first photo where you can still make out the knit stitches that it isn't felted enough. I have had to take out the bottom flap of the one I'm just finishing - about half way through I realized I had gotten off the count for the flap and it was skewed so I just ripped it out. Anyway, I love the red and the brown stripes are nicely spaced and sized. Good job!
I love the colors, Pamo. I'll be good enough to start bags soon, I hope. That's the resason I started out with this knitting thing in the first place.
