How my first attempt at felting turned out.

Starting with 130 stitches, and a 6 mm hook i crotheted the whole bag usin hdc.

This is how the bag looked before I tortured it with water. I didn't have enough yarn left over to make a nice cord, so I kind of improvised, as you can see.

I felted the bag in the bathroom sink, alternating between really hot and cold water. It was rather hard on the hands, so if I ever decide to felt something in a sink again, I will make sure to remember to wear rubber gloves.

This is the bag drying. I used old plastic video casette covers to blog the bag on.

This is the finished product.
It turned out not to be a bag, but a basket for yarn!
