Knitters on Crack

Standard

Here’s the pattern I made up for the fabulous felted bag.

I call it Angela’s Fabulous Felted Bag.

Okay, so that needs a little work.

About Angela

My name is Angela, but I answer to Ang, Andrea, and Mommy. I am 42 years old, but somehow feel both 26 and 149. Sometimes at the same time. I love Jesus, but hate at least 2/3rds of the humans He created. I consider myself a good wife but a lousy housekeeper. I love being a mother but don’t particularly like children. Quality time and sarcasm are my Love Languages. Yes! You absolutely can drop by, provided you give me 15 minutes to panic-clean and put on pants. I know that 1 in every 33 births result in multiples. I know that gap narrows to 1 in 12 for subsequent pregnancies. I know this is why my tubes are cut, burned, and tied. Not today, Satan. I can recite the entire script of The Princess Bride, (including accents) and believe that the meaning of life is contained within. Birth stories, theDodo.com, and Soldiers-returning-home videos make me happy-ugly-cry. Being interrupted, a poorly made bed, and that Christmas Shoes song make me want to punch somebody. I’m an extrovert with crushing social anxiety. To deal with stress, I crack jokes. They will be awkward and make the situation 10x worse. I can whistle and hum at the same time, but I cannot touch my toes. I look grand in orange, red, and pink, but rubbish in yellow and blue. I am a writer. I have a dog named Henri. I have a brother named Adam. They are not related. I am slightly neurotic. No I’m not. Yes I am.

  1. That’s very nice. I’ve tried felting with wool tops, but not got round to trying it with knitted wool yet. It always seems so hit and miss getting it to stay in shape though….

    • I haven’t tried anything as fit-important as a sweater.

      I just wish there was a formula or something for how much it is going to shrink. 1/3 or 1/2 or whatever, so you could decide how big you want it before hand.

      This was more of a throw-it-in-the-wash-and-see-what’ll-happen-type experiment.

    • I’m totally in love with the bag myself.

      My only complaint is that you lose all stitch definition.

      Not too bad on this project, since it was straight stocking stitch, but still….

      PS. I actually don’t mind talking about The Surgery today. Today is the first day I haven’t cried in pain.
