oh it makes me wanna felt, throw my hands up and felt!

There is a tiny project in Laurie Perry's book, called the "Felted Bracelet Bag". Soon as I saw the pattern, I was dying to make one, so I of course did what any knitting enthusiast would do and went and bought the 'mats' right away.

I have never felted before, but thought this would be a great first project to try my hand at felting.
About 1am this morning I cast on for my first experience felting wool on purpose! I did my bind off around 2am right when Anne of Green Gables was the Lily Maid and was being rescued by Gilbert Blythe. (swoon)

Of course, I couldn't NOT felt it. I had to stay up and finish my movie...as well as finish what I started. lol.

The Pros of Felted Bracelet Bag:

• It's small and I knit it up in an hour
• Because it gets felted you can be a punk sloppy rebel knitter.
• The little sewing you do can be part of your punk sloppy rebel-ness because it gets felted in.
  
• It's knit in Stockingnette, so it's easy boring knitting you don't have to pay attention to unless you're at incr or decr. hehe

The Cons of Felted Bracelet Bag:

• It's small. How are you going to get the sink there? (sarcasm)
• Felting means knitting something HUGE, then having it shrink enormously. (I think this is an oxymoron, but I like that. Shrink Enormously)
  
• You wanna make more because hey, they are fabulous as presents.
  

I'm definitely gonna make me a crap load more. They're just the right size to carry, a key, an id/license, a cell phone and yer chapstick! :)
