Still felting

Here is the felted mitten on top of the knitted-but-not-yet-felted mate.
You can see that there is substantial shrinkage, which explains the need for
knitting your garment disproportionately LARGE.  The cuffs are the same since they
were knitted in a blend---it is only the 100% wool knitting that shrinks.


Here is a free 3D heart pattern called "HeartFelt" from http://www.berroco.com/.
I used Paton's Classic Wool and followed the intriguing directions.
Below is the finished, felted product.
I did stuff it before felting, which make felting a bit trickier.
