Yep, that's me, a wimp! I still haven't felted the latest handbag yet. First, the strap issue kept bothering me. It was too short & it might have gotten shorter with felting. So I took It apart & reknitted it longer. I really like the length now. Its attached to the bag & the ends are all tucked in, so I just need to felt it.
Why haven't I felted it yet? There is a tiny part of me that is afraid it will get messed up. Don't ask me why, I guess because felting goes against everything we knit for! If the felting ruins the bag, I don't have leftovers to re-make the bag.
The other thing is I started a new job a few weeks ago. I'm exhausted! Wow, I can't believe how tired I've been! So, my point is, I've been too tired to stand in front of the washer to felt the bag! LOL! I'm planning on felting it today, so wish me luck! I'll be sure to post pictures of the finished result!
What have I been up to in the meantime? Chemo hats, what else! Lunchtime is a great time to work on a few rows of a hat. I recently turned a batch over to the cancer center, so I'll post pictures of those soon. Plus, I'll need to finish up my next dozen & take pictures of those, too.
Lucky me, I'm not doing any Christmas knitting this year! Smart girl!
