A good friend asked me to help her with this pattern as she had never done the provisional cast on. She finished the knitting, did the 3 needle bind off and was very excited to do the felting. The excite turned to disappointment as it did nto felt into a bangle but just a flat band. I n the video demo, Mag's sample looked as though it curled in on the long edges. My friends did not. She is an experienced knitter and felter. Any idea what went wrong?

I printed out the directions for the felted bangles, but the felting directions are on page 18 which is not included in the PDF. How long are you supposed to felt them? - this is my first foray into felting so I am a little nervous.

Ack I am a third of the way through a simple garter stitch shawl for my mom and I guess I better kick things up a notch or I am not going to finish in time. Thanks for the reminder!

I have a correction to the above description of my Squatty Sidekick - it takes less than 200 yds. Not 275 yds.
