Crazy for Felt

So, I'm a little crazy about the felting process right now. Yes, yes I know, I'm late to the party. But OMG it's so fabulous!

I started out with small, using a free bowl pattern I scored at Lion Brand Yarn. 





After my initial mini bowl success, I decided to make a nested set.


They came out beautifully, and I knew I had to go larger. Much larger. 


The result: Big Pink. She's 10w x 12h (finished size)


I confess, I was a little concerned about the form's structural integrity as I made the bowl progressively larger. And I'm sure if I go larger still (and you know I will), I'll have to figure out a way to keep it from collapsing. But, in the meantime, I'm basking in the glow of my wooly success. Yay!

Stay crafty,
