Felted Box

Yet another of the "I'll never make that" patterns from MDK...

Pre-felt:


Post-felt:

I used three strands of Paton's Classic Wool (2 green; 1 brown) and size 15 needles. Pre-felting it was 8" x 9" x 6"; post-felting it is 7" x 7" x 4". I did make one goof and didn't secure one corner well enough before felting, so it looks messy. Does anyone know if I can re-sew it and re-felt it? Or will that make it worse? TIA,

WOW!!! I want that! It reminds me of Mint Chocolate Chip. Great color combo & super job on the felting:)
 
Seeing all these really nice felted boxes makes me want to do some too. That's the thing about this kal--I always see things I want to try asap. So many patterns, so much yarn, so little time.....nice job,btw.
 
You should be able to re-sew the corner and refelt it with no problem. Just secure the corner, weave your ends in, and throw it back in the wash. Your box looks great!
 
Thanks, everyone. I cannot recommend the Paton's wool highly enough. I've felted three things with it now (a Booga Bag, a MD buttonhole bag and this) and it makes a felt that shows no sign of the knit stitches! it's amazing...

:)
 
Those colors are amazing together. Great job.
 
Love the colors you chose! Your felted box looks great, and fixing the corner and re-felting will work out fine.
 
Well, I dont' know if I did something wrong, but re-felting did NOT work. :( It didn't felt enough to look good, but it felted too much to pull out... :(
 
wow, I love the brown and green together!
