The first one I did for myself, and very nervously I ran the hot water into the machine with a pair of jeans (that is what the instructions said)
I kept lifting the lid in fear and trepidation to check progress, and to my astonishment the result was fantastic,.......... from a very large knitted hat.....................
.......... to this!! I felted an extra piece, and fashioned a flower to attach to the brim.I was so pleased with my first effort, I made one for a very dear friend's birthday
This time I was lucky enough to find a silk rose, which complimented the lovely mauve/pink hues perfectly.They are so, so warm and snug for our cold New Zealand winters, and I just love wearing mine.
Isn't blogging such a great medium for sharing ?
