Oops, I did it again
Ooops, I felted the Clapotis.
I knew it was a risk, but I was still a bit surprised it happened. The Lion and Lamb does not want to lose it’s fishy smell so I took the drastic step of putting it in the front loading washer on the gentlest cycle with some woolite and started it up. I had put it in a mesh bag and it was the only thing in the washing machine.
As I pulled it out I could tell it felted. It’s not completely felted, but the dropped stitches matted together and there’s just not as much movement. And the annoying thing? It still smells fishy!! I want my money back.
I should be finishing up an object tonight or tomorrow morning (just looked at the time) so I’ll hopefully show you that soon.

Oh nooooo! Is it still usable as something? I can’t believe it still smells after that - what a jip.

You so have to photograph that. I want to see what it looks like. I’m finding that my front loader felts “better” than my old top loader ever did . . . not that I want it too, mind you, it just does.

RE: Fish Smell on Clothing

I had my husband do the same thing to my clothes and I am in the process of trying to get it out, Well I have figured it out. I went to the hardware store and bought LESTOIL. It is cheap and worked great. It smells like pinesol but just wash yet again in normal detergent and voila! Hope this helps

You and your sister have been on my mind and in my prayers. I hope that your family is doing well all things considered, and that your cat is also OK with your being away.
Don’t worry about catching up on feeds. :)

No! That’s gutting (no pun intended), you so should get you’re money back!
