Felted box
I just finished my first felted box from some yarn I had in my stash. I wanted my box to be longer and more like a rectangle so I changed the dimensions a bit. Next time, I'll think I'll shorten it up and make it more square to add stability. I'm going to be doing two absorbas I think. Meantime, I have many more washrags in the works!

It's very pretty! (even if the sides aren't as stable as you'd like) I like the rectangle idea a lot.
Hey! Thanks for the comments! I think adding the dividers would definitely help! As far as dimensions, I used two strands of worsted weight wool and cast on 40 sts for the longer sides and picked up 27 sts on each short side. After that, I just knit till I felt like it looked right and then felted the crud out. I'll probably add a ribbon tie on the long ends and make it like a soft basket :)
