I finished a prototype for a knitting pattern (for a scarf/necklace/accessory thing), and gleefully tossed it in the washer with some jeans, just to felt it a little. Two minutes into the agitation cycle I checked on it, and it was already felted far too much, and all the extremely twisted cabling I had done was almost invisible. Grrrr. It’s still going to be cool, and it is just a prototype, so now I know … felt it by hand (at least with that particular yarn).

My hands have declared I have knitted enough for right now, so it’s onward to the dishes and getting the stew for tonight started.

And onward to moping about how I spent a lot of time doing some fairly intricate stitching that is now barely evident in the almost finished work. Double Grrrr.
