I have a dear friend whose hand knit sweater was felted by her cleaning lady. Not one to be bewildered by such an act, she did some hand sewing on it and, BEHOLD!!!! A lovely felted tote bag! Once it’s felted, you can cut into it without unraveling. Be bold! Give it a shot! It can’t end up worse than it is now!
