Felting question


So I did my first felting. It was that multi colored bag. And now I have an issue. I used the dryer and jeans method. I wetted the whole thing down, squeezed it out and threw it in. Now I have a section on one side that didn't felt like the rest. The other side looks great. And oddly the bottom felted faster than the sides. So do I just thow the whole thing in and hope that it felts evenly? Or do I hold the rest of the bag out of the water while dunking the part that needs felting? Any suggestions???

J + S Bean Visit


I checked out J+S Bean tonight. Good light but wood chairs. No comfy couches. But we might want to keep it in mind for an early summer visit. I has a large back patio with a ton of twinkle lights above part of it. So when it is warm out and the bugs haven't surfaced I think that it will be nice. They have also have opened a shop on Thomas and Hamline, which is next to the yarn store. I will see what that one is like.

More later, Tonya
