I t's felted!

My Lucy bag is now felted after all of 10 minutes in the washing machine. I let it go for the cycle and figured I'd have to throw it back in again, NOPE... the Pastaza felted faster than any other yarn I've ever used, and felted down so well there's no hope of seeing my stitches. Lucy is currently hanging up to block at my mom's, so pictures when she comes home.

In other news, I tried the new Paton's SWS which is a 70/30 wool/soy blend in nicely varigated colours. This stuff is so soft.. no itch at all. I'm currently knitting up an easy hat with it, and will felt the remainder to see how it felts. I'm going to have to start collecting coupons for a certain chain craft store so I can start to collect this stuff.
