knittingI am going to be felting tonight, for the very first time (on purpose ;).
I am doing the lopi tote (ravelry link, sign-in required) but I used 11 needles instead of 13, though I am knitting it veeeery loosely.
I have a front loader that can't be interrupted mid-cycle. Any tips on how to keep it from shrinking into a tiny little handbag instead of a moderate sized tote? Maybe do the wash with warm, instead of hot?
And is 7th Generation laundry soap okay to use?
Thanks!
