I *heart* this hat so much, I stayed up till midnight in an effort to finish it. Overall it took probably 3 hours to make. I think I could make them with contrasting bands.

 

Foray into Felting July 10, 2008

Posting for Ez- first example is a needle felting FAIL…looks like something my cat barfed up.  I suspect this has more to do with the wool that I used and not my total lack of needle felting talent.

Next is a machine felting WIN- same type of wool but I chucked it in the washing machine and let the machine do all the hard work.

I am also going to start an upcycled newsboy cap today, made from an old woolen cardigan that I found at the Salvos and machine felted.  I haven’t really done any sewing since I was in year 7, so it may end in fail, we’ll see…
