Knitters on Crack

Here's the pattern I made up for the fabulous felted bag.

I call it Angela's Fabulous Felted Bag.

Okay, so that needs a little work.

Felting
Along with a pair of jeans (which helps with the felting) machine wash several times on:

• high agitation (heavy wash, not delicate)
• high heat
• lowest water level
  

Air dry standing up, filled with (an) object(s) of the correct size/shape to hold it open.

Project Measurements
Before Felting - roughly 21" square
After Felting - roughly 15" square
