I tried my first experiment with felting, and I must say that it went really well. I got some more wool at JoAnn’s tonight and I plan on making more for our craft sale on Saturday. Yep, we’re having a craft sale, if you want details just let me know and I can tell you when and where! It’ll be awesome though.

The corners

I did a little stitch work on the front because it was kind of boring, then I threw it in the wash again to felt once more.

The basket after being felted. And it fits 8 little coasters just perfect!

Some more coasters prior to felting

After two washes they’ll be about 1/2 that size, which I realize you can’t tell how big those are, but they’re about as big as my hand.

And also, I got engaged! Yay and hooray.
