Felting Nightmare

I don't know what I am doing wrong, I just finished surfing the net to see if I could find some directions on felting Patons Merino yarn and I did, but it is exactly the technique I used to felt, I think I will just boil the thing to see what the outcome is; I am so excited to felt something and when I finally attempt it, it doesn't work. I will not give up that word is not in my vocabulary. I finally finished the teddy bear sweater it is so cute, I want to block it first before I submit the picture; I showed it to my husband and he was definitely impressed. It really feels good when you finally complete something you were having trouble with; my trouble was with the sleeves and how to put them on then there was the decreasing which I must say now I have a working knowledge of how to do now since I must have taken it apart about 10 times.

I am a great believer in frogging if it doesn't look right, I will do it in a heartbeat. I just finished creating a hank from a pound of the kitchen cotton for dying, can't wait to get started, I will be using the RIT technique mixing some interesting colors to see how it works up once I knit a swatch, what I have in mind for the nice size hank I have created has not come to me yet but it will, it always does. I went on ebay and purchased myself a brand new large wooden swift for the unheard of price of $55, S&H included and I found the yarn ball winder for the incredible price of $8.50 from A.C.Moores. I did pretty well, I will post a photo once I find my charger for my camera.

I think I will take some of the sock hanks I have and actually use it tonight, yep I think I will. I will also post a photo of the kitchen cotton once I take the photo . I will be looking up some information on HTML' so tha I can have a better handle on how to add items to my blog and be more creative, for now I am going to add some more rows on one of the items from my WIP.
