I've felted one bag, knitted with 3 skeins of Noro Iro, and had similar problems too. THREE boil cycles later, mission accomplished!! However, I wasn't that happy with the finished item - turned out to be a pretty expensive mistake:( Have another bag already to go - so it'll be "chock's away" and into the machine when I feel brave enough...blog-blethershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14210724937551587748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422935940416214468.post-18513292613108142992007-08-29T13:54:00.000+01:002007-08-29T13:54:00.000+01:00I think your FOs look great and I love the colours...I think your FOs look great and I love the colours of the bag!

I usually wash on 60 as well, but I think yours looks great!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the mention of my charity auctions - its very much appreciated. And congratulations on the award, thoroughly deserved.Piglottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05961495279414546848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422935940416214468.post-20485390453732258112007-08-28T07:23:00.000+01:002007-08-28T07:23:00.000+01:00Wow Sarah youare so busy.

Definitely worth it for the colours alone. The legwarmers are great in the Plaid, nice idea for using up an odd skein or so too!dreamcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512623516755804881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422935940416214468.post-43862939997640170782007-08-27T23:28:00.000+01:002007-08-27T23:28:00.000+01:00Great knits!

I like Rowan Plaid a lot: I made my BF a scarf from it, and it's so soft and surprisingly hard-wearing. <BR/><BR/>I've not tried felting yet but I sure don't like the idea of standing over a sink full of steamy water on a hot summer day. You can consider yourself a good friend to have gone through that for a gift!Sarah Ditumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179762144374700037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422935940416214468.post-30343484848060065682007-08-27T19:32:00.000+01:002007-08-27T19:32:00.000+01:00Sarah, I DO love your blog!Love that felted bag al...Sarah, I DO love your blog!<BR/>Love that felted bag also! and yes, gorgeous colours... I've not used the Karaoke...but I always just toss whatever it is in a mesh bag with a towel or two and set for the hot cycle...and check on item every 5 minutes...<BR/>The legwarmers are fabulous.Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500636360349398921noreply@blogger.com
