what could this stuff be??

I love felting stuff. I love making felted stuff. Felting hides sins and errors. I love the fact that I take this weird looking thing and with a little hot water (well, sometimes lots of hot water), it becomes a wonderful thing that makes you go AHHHH. Not, ahhhhhhh like a lace shawl, but more the ahhhhh like "hmmm so that's what it is supposed to be!" So, maybe its not "ahhhhh" at all, but "hmmmm"?

In any event, I finished Wendy's Lucy bag and Jane's felted bowls for the One Skein SP. Wendy is a friend of mine and loved my Lucy bag. She wanted it in her sons' school colors. So you might start with something soft and weird looking, like this:


and end up with something like this:




It ends up a tight and neat bag that is a really wonderful thing for holding all those things you need to take to fall football games. Plus, as her DH, so nicely put it, "if you get cold you can always pull it over your head!


Then I had my One Skein project for Jane. These things were really fun and the second one (the smaller one), I knit in one evening!! They would make great Christmas presents. Anyway, again you start off with this puddle of knitting and end up with nicely felted bowls.

This is the large unfelted one:






and this is the small unfelted one:










and this is how they look when they are done:

FYI, the orange one has a yellow bottom and the yellow has an orange bottom . . . aren't we just too, too clever!
