And knitting up some huge floppy thing that you then pop in the washer and it comes out small and beautiful? The best kind of fiber magic. If you have a front loader and can't keep opening it to check the progress, you can also put a few inches of warm slightly soapy water in the bathtub (if it was warmer I'd say a tub in the yard) and have Rachel and Susie stomp on it for a while. Slower, but also highly entertaining.Ann in NJhttp://www.allthosestamps.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-41506527787132531072011-10-04T08:01:08.325-04:002011-10-04T08:01:08.325-04:00I've never been swayed by the felted stuff.

"I must make these!" I thought. Like, it was all I could do not to buy all the supplies right that second. And then I noticed that the book requested the felting be done with actual dog hair. <br /><br />I am not longer interested.Hildiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825826597565796467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-27516813395055562872011-10-04T00:33:19.377-04:002011-10-04T00:33:19.377-04:00Can I be your sister or cousin or something?

Because I just know that I would be attempting similar feat, but on a much larger scale, annually. In addition to all my other projects that somehow never get quite finished.SubWifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10130118656023678187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-22749556726580976642011-10-03T23:05:23.093-04:002011-10-03T23:05:23.093-04:00I do not knit (yet), but I do sew and quilt so I t...I do not knit (yet), but I do sew and quilt so I totally understand the visions of homemade gifts dancing in your head because mine are coming out my ears this time of year. And I always think if I start gathering supplies soon enough that it will all happen. Hahahahaha. Every year I think, "THIS TIME IT WILL HAPPEN. I will MAKE it happen," and every year I accomplish one, maybe two things and have to learn to be content with that. Gift giving is overrated. Let's all just eat and drink high calorie foods and screw the rest of it.The Tall Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974733411264382125noreply@blogger.com
