fabulous hat! i am often the recipient of other people's inadverdently-shrunken wool sweaters, and i gotta say, those are the most awesome, warmest, comfiest sweaters in the world.
You are an awesome person and I am humbled by your knitting prowess. Also your super-cute flower necklace. That's going to be a great hat for the fall.
(I am so terrified of felting. I mean, what if you spend hours knitting something and then it, like, fits your cat?)
I think the first thing I felted was a messenger bag that I designed myself. unfortunately, I made it from various scraps of yarn, and varying blends of wool *facepalm*. I think some of it even had no wool. ah, youth.
don't worry about over doing it! I sent this puppy through the wash about a dozen times, checking it during every cycle. it seemed to have two BIG shrinks, at about 6 washes and 12. when it comes out, it's still pretty pliable and can be stretched larger if necessary. you should try it!
