And stuff it with something (plastic bags and towels) to help keep the shape while it felts.<BR/>There's a cute purse at www.magknits.com called the Sophie bag. I've done a few using Patons Classic Merino, and there's a blog (Now Norma Knits, but I don't know the address, just that it's not a Blogspot) that has a good tutorial on the purse.<BR/>Also, you can baste the open edges together with cotton (contrasting colour!). This stops them from flaring (so I've read in a book on felting, read it too late to try, LOL).<BR/>Didn't get to the group tonight to see if your black top is done!<BR/>Are you going to the Kitchener Knitter's Fair on Saturday? I know you don't drive, so if you need a ride, let me know!TracyKMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498896222222982320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768401.post-1157592904631432892006-09-06T21:35:00.000-04:002006-09-06T21:35:00.000-04:00I feel your pain - just getting ready to felt a fe...I feel your pain - just getting ready to felt a few Booga bags for Christmas. If they don't shape right that's a lot of $$$ down the drain.Laurinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324857750329669654noreply@blogger.com
