Finished Felting ...

Okay, that's it for Mrs. Swank and alliteration. Anyway, here's the Noro bag after two runs through the washing machine:

I originally thought I'd stop after only one wash, but as Mr. Swank pointed out, a knitted bag with an entire cubic foot of space is pretty darn large. So it went back in. Thanks go out to my good friend Erin for the useful tip of adding a teapot full of boiling water to the wash load. It made the cost of felting in the coin-op machines downstairs much more affordable ...

Jules immediately discovered that cats love felted bags. They're an excellent place to take a quick bath.

We can tell that the glucosamine/chondroitin pills we've been sprinkling on his food are working -- he's our Li'l Bastard again ...
