Do you remember the old SNL’s with Gilda Radner as Roseanne Roseannadanna? One night on the SNL News she did a whole bit on Natural Race Horses…the topic, of course, was supposed to be Natural Resources… Ha. So funny…Well, anyway, here’s some felting race horses for ya:

Have you seen Fall ’07 issue of Adorn? I know, it’s been out for weeks, but grab it if you can. The whole issue is on recycled crafts. There is even a whole “workshop” section of my fave, recycling sweaters! Lots of great sweater felting ideas, including a cool shibori bolero jacket by Nicky Epstein.

Another great resource is the blog, Craft Gossip . It has whole categories hosted by different editors on favorites like felting, recycled crafts and more. There was a recent post on the Wonder Washer used for felting.

What the heck is a Wonder Washer?

Apparently it’s a handy little washer for people who don’t have a regular washer. It’s not meant for felting, but what a great idea! I haven’t actually used one myself, but check out the craft gossip trial if you’re interested. Beats the laundr-o-mat for sure.

(BTW, some people have asked me about felting in a front load washer, which is what I have. Yes, it definitely works, it just takes longer and is harder to control. With the door on the front, you can’t just open the lid and check on the felting process. I always throw an old pair of jeans in or a tennis ball to add to the friction, since the front loader has no agitator. I don’t need an agitator. I can get plenty agitated on my own, thank you)
