dry, wet. in the washing machine, in a bowl by hand, with needles dry.....
i just made a pretty cool chapeau called 'lock nest' (pattern by teri barr) and it's from the special issue (2009) of interweave knits accessories. cascade 220 yarn was recommended but i used malabrigo (which i dearly love. cascade is cool too and i had some on hand in black, but i wanted the muted colors of the malabrigo). oh when i say JUST made, i JUST finished knitting it yesterday and i JUST took it out of the washing machine about 1/2 hour ago. i am going to felt it a tiny bit more by hand. the top didn't felt as well as the bottom (the purple was another yarn i had on hand, but i don't know what it was)

That is such a cool idea - a chapeau? I want one - will be great to stick my ponytail up through.
BTW the Interweave Felt 2007 mag (with this project in it) is available for electronic download on the Interweave website - so I'm now ready to go.......
not only would i have shared, but i would have MADE YOU one! i would have even followed the pattern (which of course i NEVER do).
coincidentally, i started a neck warmer today with my purple doll yarn. moss stitch and loop stitch here and there. i'll send you a pic when it's done
