Did you know that you can felt wool in cold water? Now stop that snickering, seriously, stop it! I didn’t know that you could. Now I knew to felt that it took heat and agitation, but I thought that you had to have both to felt. Again, please stop laughing at me. I put my Olypians, my hand knitting rainbow lace socks that I fretted and worked so hard on a few months ago, and my Dragon Scale Guantlets in the wash. The machine only uses cold water, it was half full, gentle cycle. When I unloaded the washing machine both items were felted! Ugh. Now any other time I would have cried and been upset about such thing. To be honest, with everything that’s going on right now, I just started laughing. (And no, there’s no way I can wear either item any more, but will keep them none-the-less.)
Ah, this is my youngest son, Erchin. What’s he holding you ask? He is proudly displaying his newly finished hand knitted navy blue cotton washcloth that’s what he’s holding!This way he’ll have something that I made special just for him while I am away at the hospital again. (By the way, he’s already asked if I’d make him a soap scrubber for the shower, and hinted that he wanted washclothes in a whole bunch of differant colors!LOL)
I tried calling my Mom on her cell phone earlier today. A strange lady answered and said that “…I’m the woman who’s found your mother’s cell phone…” I just got off of the phone with my mom. I asked her if she’d lost her cell phone. She said that she couldn’t find it but thought it was probably in the car. I told her it wasn’t and that the lady who had found it wanted her to call on the cell phone and make arrangements to get it back. I had to give mom her cell phone no. so she could call it!…..ROFLOL

What’s better than a young man who can appreciate a hand-knit washcloth?

what a cute candy lover you have there! That is sweet that he wants knitted things for comfort! Of course he does.
LMAO re: the phone mishap. I had to program my mom’s voicemail, get her ringtones, graphics, etc. So now when I call I hear my voice telling me she’s not available. It never ceases to be weird.
cheers,
