So remember last week when I posted I Felt Like It Part 1 where I showed you the super cute hat I was working on?

I talked about how my initial run through my Wonder Wash went well (alliteration, snap!) and my hat was looking dandy:
Flush from my awesome success, I quickly washed it again in hopes of smoothing out the seeable stitches even more and then...
I don't want to talk about it.
I shrank my hat. It's way too small and once again Toot will look more fashionable than I. I went through the 5 Stages of Crochet Grief:
 |
| Denial |
 |
| Anger |
 |
| Bargaining - "It'll stretch, it's still good, it's still good!" |
 |
| Depression |
 |
| Acceptance |

ReplyDeleteOh no! That's the problem with felting: it's so hard to know the magic moment when the piece is *perfect*. At least Toot has another cute hat?
