Felting follow up

OK, I did a little video using my new iPhone duct taped to a ladder/hmmmmm. How to deal with volume settings, etc. and ability to edit?  Well, as you might have noticed, these were not the only issues I have to deal with.  But I wanted to get the info out to those of you who were with me Wednesday. The rest of you will just have to hold your breath.  Maybe I'll be brave enough to post it here. OMG.  Not.  

Felting could not be easier!!!  

Particularly with the device below/as opposed to single poking device featured on Martha video from a few days ago.

Here are the basics: Shop your closet or used clothing store for wool sweaters. Wash in hot water; dry in hot drier. Cut along seams.  Lay out pattern so that arms of new sweater align with arms of old washed one.  Cut & sew.

Then the fun begins.  Will share finished product ASAP assuming it actually gets finished.
