It's felted!

Pattern: Felted Rug from "Felted Knits"
Yarn: Lamb's Pride Burly Spun 3 skeins grey, one skein each blue and green (didn't use anywhere near a full skein)
Needles: US 17

Here we have my rug post felting, pinned out on my blocking board because it felted rather oddly. When I pulled it out of the washing machine, it was a complete hour glass, wide at the ends, narrow in the middle. I have no idea why it happened, but as you can see, I managed to pull it into shape. The pattern said it would be 24 x 36 post felting but I stretched this one to 28 x 41. Even soaking wet it's soft and springy. I can't wait till it's dry and I can toss it on the floor. Now all I need to figure out is how to back it so it doesn't go sliding all over with me on it.
