Let's Knit Magazine - Your knitting, your style

My first ever felting project is in the washing machine, 2 booga bags.  I can’t believe how nervous and physically tense I am - I’m absolutley bricking it!!!

Ah the excitment of felting your first propper project!!! You’ll and them will be fine and you be showing them of with pride

Ooh can’t wait to see it!

OMG - they are TINY!!

I love the felted effect and I love that the fabric has really stiffened up - I think I love felting but OMG they’re about HALF the size.

I’m not sure that they’re big enough to be usable as handbags.  And the I-cord may be too chunky to look right now that the bags are so small.

I’ve got them blocking on shoe boxes.

OMG - what have I done.

That happened with me too !!! I knitted an oblong to make a shoulder type bag and it went very small, I ended up cutting it into two and making shoulder purses, ideal for a camera, keys and phone if out for a walk, there is a pic somewhere on here in the depths x Janet
