The felted bag went well, I am delighted. I washed it at 60 degrees and that was quite enough to achieve the felting effect. I changed my design at the last minute when I was looking on a Finnish site and found a picture of an interesting looking little basket (not felted) with these supersized button hole handles. Next time I'll crochet a couple more rows above the chain space I think. This basket was so easy to make and it could be lined, and/or decorated with 3D flowers. I could make another one with my own stripes instead of using a multicolour yarn. The great thing is you don't have to weave in the ends when you change colour, you just cut them off once it's felted! MAGIC!
