OK, many of you already know this, but felting is awesome. You can take a piece of ho hum knitting and turn it into this really finished, professional looking piece with a little hot water and soap. I adore it. Simple stockinette or garter stitch turned into gorgeous works of art, what's not to love?
This is a picture of my first felted piece, a purse. It is made with Lion Brand Wool in Dark Teal and Flower Garden. You can find the free pattern here: Lion Brand. You have to register to use Lion's free patterns, but it's free and they have an option to receive no mail, etc.
I have been kicking myself because I didn't take any before pictures of this bag. Obviously I decided I didn't like the handles in the pattern. Frugal me, I got these handles off a thrift store purse :) Only 50 cents! I love stuff like that.
I will post again soon with pictures of the awesome Denise needle case I made and felted.
