I don’t understand this recipe, doesn’t seem like you finished telling about the rest of what we are supposed to do. Could you tell me how I can get?

Thank you for setting such a good example, Deborah. I am inspired to think about it faster, maybe for only one day!

Glad to hear it! And I swear, it really still looks like that. Every time the clutter starts to creep in, I take care of it. I enjoy having it clutter-free so much that I don’t want it to be a mess again.

Deborah, you are an inspiration! If I find my camera on my teeteringly cluttered desk (you’ve got nothing on me!), I will take a picture and spend a couple of days in deep thought about decluttering it. Just because I can’t find something doesn’t mean I lost it, though…

You’ve got a gorgeous website.

very nice bowls. I thought I’d mention to Shelia and anyone else interested that I use the Magic Loop method, thus eliminating DPNs!

You might be able to do it with one of those really short circular needles. The problem you’ll run into is when you get down to sixteen or twelve stitches or so.

Just wondering if it was mandatory to use the dpn’s. I don’t know how to use them and wondered if I could just use the circular needles through the whole project. Would it affect the outcome?

Thanks,
Sheila

I felt these bowls on the stove top in a big pot. Water is very hot that way and I mash the bowl with a wooden spoon and paddle. It takes some time and a lot of arm action but it is easier to check the progress (plus I don’t have a top load machine). Every 10 minutes or so, I shock the bowl with cold water and squeeze then return it to the hot water. It seems to help the felting process.
