\"\"<\/a>I meant to post this the day I mailed out the kit, but we’ve been cleaning house and I’ve barely had the time to check my email, let alone blog. <\/p>\n

Anyway, after two trips through the washer, countless hours on the shelf in the dryer (it’s amazing how much water can still be soaked into wool after rolling it in a towel several times), and a few stitches here and there, the bag was ready for needle felting. I definitely foresee more needle felted projects in my future. I had to restrain myself from putting needle felted flowers all over the bag.<\/p>\n

Since I delayed so much in posting this, Mary Lynn<\/a> already received her kit so I can say who it was for! I really enjoyed putting this kit together, even if I did wait until the 11th hour. I love doing swaps. Usually the recipient’s tastes are not quite what mine would be, so when I choose the project or the colors it wouldn’t necessarily be something I would wear\/use\/want. But then by the time I’m done with the project or I put a kit together, I really like it. It lets me try out new colors or patterns without being committed to, say, owning a pair of neon yellow lace socks. Of course, this bag is two colors I adore, so I had a harder time than usual mailing it off. I can’t wait to see what’s in my kit when it gets here all the way from Alaska! I was working so hard on Mary Lynn’s kit that I actually forgot I would be getting one in return until my pal left a comment the other day.<\/p>\n
