Adventures in Felting (on purpose!)

So felting is way easy, and a happy thing if you do it on purpose. (Also, if you protect your washing machine from the extra fibers that come off during the felting process...broken washing machines are not happy. Fortunately, a pillowcase can do this.) Knitty has a tutorial on machine felting and on what I call "butter churn style felting". I used both methods, and I have to say I prefer butter churn style felting but it does do a number on your shoulders/spoon count.

Project number one: Felted notions bag (for quick carry tape measure, needle, scissors, etc)
