Cool Item

So in my knitting life I am busy making a nice grey (or is it gray?) V-neck pull over sweater. I am 2/3 done with one sleeve and just have the other sleeve and collar ribbing to go before I am done. I hope to wear it on Friday or Saturday.

But as a break last night I quickly knit up some 100% wool in a striped pattern then promptly felted it (in a front loading washer no less) - some say this can't be done. It looks great.... and with some cutting and sewing I will make ....... (imagine a drum roll right here).....

Beer bottle cozies!

I have to cut and sew then I will get a picture. I promised these to a couple people and I think I can get at least 4 out of my felted wool strip.....

Photos to come!
