Finished Yarn Bowl!

It is such a great feeling of accomplishment when a project is finished, even more so when the project turns out well! A few weeks ago I started a yarn bowl which is intenteded to hold my yarn while I knit preventing it from rolling around on the floor prentending to be a cat toy.

People say that felting is addictive and once you start, you won't be able to stop. I am here to say that I now know why, it really is fun knit something up and watch it become something completely different. Check back soon for my next felting project!
