Luna Park Socks
Made with Ornaghi Filati Luna Park Merino wool colore 202 and Regia reinforcing wool in heel and toe. Size 2 needles. 60 stitches CO. 7 row picot edge. Welsh heel. Star of 3 points toe. Very lovely if I do say so myself...will be using this pattern again! Only one tiny complaint...there was a break in the yarn and one entire color was missing! Luckily there was enough left over to patch it. Yarn is from www.yarn4socks.com.
OCD felting

I now present...The Space Shuttle Bag aka Frankenstein Bag! Holy cow it was a bitch to line. I got the fabric at JoAnn's. Is lovely and soft and has all the colors of the wool! It took me a long time to find it! Grommets were scary but kinda fun to put on. I got them at Michael's. Pattern is infamous Booga Bag.
Now I know why I've never felted anything before! Is it ready? Should I throw it in again? I guess it would have helped if I knew what I was working with. Bag is 24% Noro Kureyon and 76% handspun material of unknown origin but appears to be animal fiber. Oops my bad.
After three washes and strap getting stuck in washing machine *argh*
After two washes
After one wash (darn. I kinda liked it in this stage tho wouldn't exactly call it felt...more like soft fluffy wool.)
