Spike Stitch Bag-FELTED!!!!! See #30

[jaclim]

I just finished crocheting my spike stitch bag. Its pre-felt size is 14" X 9 3/4" X 4". Now I have to wait for the rains to stop so I can try to felt it. I'm going to try to felt it the old-fashioned way. I got the idea from Crochet Me's Spike Stitch Sham. I used Wool Bale which I got from the recent Sea of Yarn Swap. Thank you, Cheryl!

Wow, Jackie! That's awesome!

 

Just curious, you said you were going to felt it the "old-fashioned" way - what's that? And you can send some of that rain this way - we got a little bit yesterday, but after two months of nearly nothing, it was just a drop in the bucket.

That is really a great looking bag. I want one to. I have to see the result of my work so quick when I felt something that I just chuck it in the washer as quick as I can. I admire you for being able to wait. ~ Brenda

Thank you, Deb!!!! What I meant by the old-fashioned way is to hand wash (felt?) it. Unlike what you ladies normally do when felting (using the washing machine).

 

Well, you can come over to Manila anytime......lots of rain and flood.

I can understand how you feel, Brenda as I have to stop myself several times from felting it as I'm afraid my bag will never get dry. I've learned to be patient thanks to our very slow postal system here.

Looks great that way

Ooh, me too, I can't wait to see it felted. I've got my eye on the spike stitch pillow, but that's going to have to wait till next year, when I get my Christmas present done and my classs is over and I have some free time. Patty
