Vyxxan's Virtual Venture

I felted my new purse this afternoon. It’s laying on the dryer air drying now.

(glasses in photo for scale this time, lol!)

It’s QUITE sturdy, I’m sure knitting with 2 strands of wool and only adding the others helped that a lot.

My handle is quite lumpy… should have expected that, as the fancy yarn I got is quite varied in size. Oh, and just in case anyone is wondering: Nashua Handknits “Sitar” is the fancy yarn, in Deep Blue Seas color. It’s only 50% wool, but felted up quite nicely along with the regular wool.

Here is a shot of the top with a piece of unfelted i-cord using the same yarns.

And finally, a photo of the bottom so you can see how the knitting disappeared. It’s amazing! I’ve never felted anything before… and knowing how it’s supposed to work is a lot different than actually doing it and seeing for yourself.

Now I’m off on a hunt for a small coin purse to knit and felt… to use up the last of the yarns, of course. And then I think I’ll knit a hat. A hat should be almost as easy as this purse was, right? :)

hugs,
Vyx

(next up, learn continental knitting…it just looks so much easier)

P.S. All photos enlarge when you click on them… I forget to remind people about that.
