When does the first time try ever turn out so cute?

I've had so much fun doing these! I've never felted before and I was surprised at how easy it was, though I had to borrow my friend's top-loading washing machine (I have a front loader)--Thanks, Colleen! Pattern and credit goes to designer, http://frenchpressknits.blogspot.com/.


At this point, the faith of felting is what keeps you going.


Oh my gosh, it worked!!


And here is the finished product.


Can you see my puff paint gripies?


They are so soft and comfortable and I am LOVING them!
