Finished the pumpkin trick-or-treat bags over the weekend. These were knit with wool and then felted (fulled is the technically correct term) in the washing machine to shrink them into submission.
BEFORE
floppy, sloppy, wimpy
floppy, sloppy, wimpy
AFTERsturdy, look like pumpkins
The "before" versions would probably hold more loot, but the "after" versions are cuter, doncha think?
To recap, the pattern is called 12:01, was developed by Nathania Apple and is available on Ravelry. If you're a knitter and you're not a Ravelry member, sign up now! It's free and fun and inspirational and a real time-suck. I'm not making that up. Heh.
P.S. My Ravelry ID is shrinkingknitter.
