Deficiencies of a non Wool Knitter

I am doing one craft show this spring and it is a drop off type but you have to work one 4 hour shift. My shift was last night. I check out how my stuff was doing and it looked as if my soaps and potions were doing really well compared to the other two soap vendors Hooray!! I even got confirmation of this from the organizer of the show. Little victory dance for me.

Then I walked around to see what else was in the little shop. I also wanted to see if the little bird house, pink and purple, wind chime the Princess saw on Sunday when I set up was still there and it was so I set it aside at the cash register so I could pay for it when I left. Princess really wanted it, she was having a really good week and it wasn't too expensive.

Then I saw some beautiful bags out of the corner of my eye. I walked up to the rack and they were in various colors, shapes, and sizes. I obviously couldn't touch them. They looked so interesting. Not that I ever carry a pocketbook or anything. As I got closer I realized they were in fact felted. I have seen tons of patterns and books on felting. I have seen tons of blogs and web sites on felting but, I obviously have never felted. You can only felt, so I have been told, with wool and since I cannot knit with wool nor any animal fibers I cannot felt.

It looks so fascinating the way the materials just blend together, the way the colors intertwine but it will never happen for me. I was not meant to be a wool knitter nor a capable of felting. A shame too she was asking a minimum of $85 a bag!
