In full disclosure, as much as I find great joy in my textile obsession, I'm not a prescision crafter. I cut corners (literally and metaphorically) all the time. So, the elation I experienced when I felted a sloppily knitted bowl and saw it become a perfect specimen, was tremendous. Felting can do for knitting what time often does to the past: smooth over all the lumps and loose ends and make it better than you imagined. You were beautiful. He was handsome. Everyone laughed and everyone danced and there was confetti falling like glitter when you first kissed. Here's to felting!
Cheers! To Felting!
