Well there it is! My Sophie bag!
All felted up and hanging out drying!
I have figured out what it takes to felt and item in my washer! Adding a teapot full of boiling water, the large load setting, and the heavy agitation! After two tries before that on just the hot and regular settings I decided I needed to rough it up a bit!
I am most pleased with the outcome, I am not really a Bag person myself.. so this one will probably be a present.
So I cast on the prayer shawl on Sunday. It will be my Sunday knitting, and portable knitting for the knitting group and Wednessday nights at bible study!
I resisted the temptation to cast on the Voodoo wrist warmers. I need to get that second sleeve restarted !
It snowed all weekend, and there isn’t much to show for it now, though a little north of here they got up to 18″ of snow! We had a nice dinner out last night at Eat at Joes restaurant.
Well got to get the kids back at school work, I think as long as it is cold and the windows are kept shut my allergies will be kept at bay!
Your Sophie bag looks great!
Hey there fellow Midwest knitter and RAOKer! I’ve been lurking around your blog today. It’s so wonderful that you’re knitting a prayer shawl. I’m going to knit some of those once I get some things off my plate.
hey there fellow midwest knitter and RAOKER! I’ve been lurking around your blog today. That’s so wonderful that you’re knitting a prayer shawl. I know that many people who receive them are very touched by the gesture.
I LOVE IT! This is one of my “to do” projects with some yummy wool a friend got me in Australia
