felted madness!!!! FO friday already ! 27/5/11

So here we are at Friday again! and do I have a finished object?  Oh I do indeed!

I started knitting a hat that had to be felted in my 2nd every handspun yarn.... needless to say I didn't calculate the yardage too well and ended up running out of the super squashy natural yarn....  The only other yarn in a similar weight I had here was the remnants of Energised, the wool I made my felted e-reader cover from so outit came.

But I didn't like the stark colour difference :(

so I got this....

 and did this!

simmered until the water was clear...

 which left me with THIS!

A shapeless red THING.... but felting is magic!  and after a couple of hours in the machine!  I ended up with my FO for today!

 and when I thought it was going to be natural coloured I was going to add some needle felted flowers and things but in this rich red and plum I don't think it needs it to be honest... I love it!

and in other news... I am beside myself with excitment when lovely Mr Unconventional came home with these for me ~happy dance~  

Oh the plans I have..... may be an interesting week :D

hope you have a fantastic Friday! be sure to check out other finished objects over here lots of beautiful things there already!
