Bah! I've been trying to felt my bag for a few hours now. By hand, of course. It's not doing a whole heck of a lot. It certainly isn't shrinking! The stitches are fading a little bit, but aside from that, nothing. I've decided I want one of those tabletop washers you plug into an outlet. That'd make felting a lot easier as long as we're in the appartment. Because frankly, this sucks, and it's very hard on my back. And yes, Dustin does try and help, but it hurts his back also. Needless to say, this is getting to be highly annoying. I'm hal ftempted to just throw it in the washer and be done with it, come what may.

**edit** Well, I just went ahead and put it in the dryer with a couple of towels. Hopefully it won't shrink too much in there. I just couldn't handle the hand-felting anymore. Bah. I just realized I forgot to take a before picture, but I will take one for after. Trust me when I say it is big and floppy at the moment**

**edit 2** *grumble* Well, the warm setting didn't do much for shrinkage. The stitches have faded some though. Put it in on the hot cycle now and added more friction still. If this doesn't do it, it must be superwash wool. Which would tick me off.**
