Felting on Purpose?

Last night I started working on a felted bag called the “squatty sidekick” – how cute is that? I know, I’m supposed to be working on bluebell, but my attention span has been short lately and I really need to pay attention to cast on for that one and maybe do some math.

Anyway, this looks like a quick knit and I’m using up my extra skein of Paton’s Classic from Mrs. Darcy. This will be the first time I have ever felted something on purpose. I’m afraid the process will dredge up painful memories of the time I ruined my very favorite sweater… but maybe it will help me find some closure? Take back the felt!
