my maximized basket version of the frrench market bag has been finished for a wee bit. i had a bunch of measurements & stuff but i've lost interest since then in the minutae: basically it shrank about 1/2 in the height but much less in the width and in the handles. i felt like i had to stop because i'd already used 3 skeins in the main colour and more than one in the contrast. still, now i know why felting is addictive. :-) it wasn't felty enough for my liking so i ran it through the wash twice, which had a lot to do with the super shrinkage. i also trimmed the handles to make everything nice & pretty.
i think next time i'll do it without the handles, modify the pattern a bit and make it a real basket, and wash it with starch.

I was just playing with blogger and I found your blog. I took a quick look around and it seems pretty interesting. I'd love some feedback on my detox site.
It's brand new so I'd love to hear any feedback you might have. It's basically dedicated to giving out some detox tips. Maybe you or someone you know might find it usefull.
Thanks,
Roger.
