The saga of the felted bag.

So, a few weeks ago I frogged a baby blanket and decided to knit something I could felt. I just knitted randomly, hoping the felting would shape things up.

So this is what the bag looked like once it was knitted up:


And then I washed it twice, at 40 degrees the first time and 50 degrees the second time and this is what I have now:


Now, a few issues. First of all, I don't know if it's actually felted. It's smaller and soft and fuzzy, but you can still see the stitches, so I'm not sure it's actually totally felted. The other issue is that I would like to make holes in the sides so that I set straps, and it would look something like this:

I have also been working on another little project, but it's super secret at this time. Only for the eyes of those brave enough to have a Ravelry account ;-)
