Heartfelt VD Present
serge
This is what I made with my emergency yarn purchase.
As you can see, it would not have worked if I did not have red yarn.
This is the “Heart-Felt Wishes” bowl from www.fiberfemmes.com. Bad puns aside, I think it turned very well.
I used two stands of Patons Classic Wool and size 13 needles, just like the pattern called for.
It went surprisingly fast, and I almost had it on time to give away on valentines day.
I blame Physics homework for the delay.
Sadly, I have just discovered that my fancy new W/D is not that great when it comes to felting projects. I had to finish this one off by hand. Considering I already have the yarn for at least three more felted projects, I am gonna have to start doing laundry at friend’s houses. That’ll be fun.
love,
serge

Is it a front-loading washer? Unfortunately, they just don’t work quite as well for felting, though I have to say that our top loader still doesn’t do as good a job as I can by hand. Running it through the dryer afterwards helps a lot, though.

yes, it is a front load monster. super cute, with all kinds of doo-dads and whatsits, but not as good for felting.
