another knitting technical question
June 27th, 2005I am knitting up a bag for someone and I want to felt it. I am knitting it with Lamb’s Pride wool and I am knitting in the round. So say I didn’t do a “special” edge and the thing is curling up. When I felt it, will it just uncurl? Also, can I sew a zipper in after I felt it? Or should I pick a different method of closure?
Anyone with felting experience? Anyone?
Yes, you can sew a zipper in after you felt. And yes, the edge won’t curl after it’s felted. But if it’s a round bag, I highly recommend finding a big round Tupperware bowl or something to shape it on as the bag dries.
