My first knitting class is today.

I’m very excited to finally delve into the mysterious world of felting on purpose.  For you nonknitters that means shrinking and making the fibers of a wool item meld together.  I shrunk/felted the first sweater I knit for my daughter and was not happy.  A few other items have gotten felted by mistake but they weren’t as traumatic as the sweater.

Here’s a picture of the project from MoirasMama on Ravelry.  She’s actually teaching the class.

 My yarn colors are Cascade 220 Ruby and Jet with a bit of Primavera.

I’m not exactly sure how I’m going to incorporate these colors but I have a vague idea.  Stay tuned…
