The Continuing Saga of Crazy Crochet Coral

I just can't leave this experiment alone.  I was going to try recreating the whole thing over, then Elizabeth from Things Bright suggested that I just weave more wool through this one, and try felting it again.  I thought, "that is brilliant!"  Then I thought, "I'll just use roving!"  So this is what it looked like before washing.  When I saw this, I kinda liked it, and almost stopped there, but then my experiment would be unfinished.  So in the washer it went!

First with a load of dish towels, then a load of bath towels!  Ha ha!  Kill two birds with one stone and all that.  It still didn't felt up as much as I'd hoped.  When crocheting the roving in, I did pull it up slightly, but not too much, because that was cheating.

I do like how it turned out though.  The roving is pretty stiff and the rest is soft and floppy.  It has a nice presence to it.  I'm itching to do some more with the roving now.  I think I'll be making some bioherms.  I'd better order more roving:)

Have a very fabulous weekend!  And stop by Things Bright for lots of luscious crochet work!
