What a Felting Friday!

After a reasonably busy Thursday I needed a day to relax. I haven't done any wet hand felting for ages so I decided to set the scene, I picked a perfect project and spent the day ruining a beautiful hand-knitted by myself some time ago Alchemy mohair shawl with soap, water and some serious rubbing action.

Lack of studio and a designated place of work meant that everything had to be set up on the kitchen table...

AND THE FINISHED SCARF
I'm very pleased how the project turned out. It was a lot of work, patience and mess to clean up, but so worth it. I know how it works, yet it never ceases to amaze me like a wonderful magic trick.
