So the yoga mat bag of doom is finished. knit. felted. dried.
It's a little wonky, partly because I increased from 80 stitches to 90 somewhere along the way... and partly because I changed which needles I was using - the homemade weapons of butt-doom to the pretty knit-picks of loveliness.
It also didn't felt as expected, I knit according to the pattern, without thinking that my yarn might felt a leetle different from the pattern yarn. So now I've learned the importance of felting a swatch just to see what it will do.
I figure I can fill the bottom with something - like maybe a styrofoam form or such and then my mat won't sink into oblivion.
