Felted Booga Booga

Today is the day!  Under much nervousness and anxiety, I went for it and threw the Booga and the strap into the frying pan aka: washa machine.

This is what it looks like after 2 washes.  I took it out after the 2nd, and immediately started to sing in my head “I like big BAGS and I cannot lie”…. kinda like… ya know… that song.  I think I am stopping at 2 washes.  I can just a wee wee tiny bit of stitching… can hardly tell… but I’m afraid 1 more cycle might just really make it too small.   I have it over a regular-sized PO box.  The size is just almost the length of a sheet of paper.  I wish only that it be just a tad more bigger.  Yes, Yes to Ms Crazy Crocheter… I checked it… almost every 6 minutes or so…..  The i-cord handle… I LOVE… how it turned out.  I used the Wonder Knitter like Yarn Tails told me to and make it a little bit longer like PC advised. 

Now the air drying process begins.  Then assembly.

I think I am going to make a few more of these for xmas gifts, but I’m think I need to knit more rows than what the pattern called for to satisfy by “BIG BAG” obsession.

Final Thoughts:  Not a bad project overall.   Idol: Cya to Irish… thought for sure it was Brooke, but this was bound to happen…also. Let’s face it, it’s American Idol afterall (not that I have anything against irish, being irish, ireland… well you get my drift).  Tonight’s my “programs” night, so I’m trying to get alot accomplished this afternoon.  So, gotta scoot. 

Thanks to everyone for your comments, support, encouragement, and suggestions.  Fiber Friends are great!
