If you missed my previous post on this Entrelac Tote, no, I didn’t knit this magically. I finished the knitting part in February but never got to felting it. I visited my sister last Saturday and used her washer for the felting. She’s got a better machine you know (she sells them.) I trust her machine. LOL This being my first felted project created lots of excitement. All of us couldn’t believe what came out of it. During the wash I checked in periodically to make sure it was OK. It was still gigantic when soaking wet. But after the spin cycle it just magically shrank to the right size! (OK, it’s not magic.) Phew!
I really like how it turned out. It even looks nice lying flat. I won’t be carrying this around on my shoulder though. (Can you imagine that?) This will be my knitting bag for the house. Large enough to put everything needed for everyday knitting.
