But first a little knitting

Socks, yes and sock yarn, and some work, but first a little knitting.

I have been puttering with the bits and pieces of the vest I made out of Prairie Wool.  I was thinking about making a hat, but I am not really a hat sort of person.  

What else to do?  Mitts?  The yarn seems a tad thick even for really beefy mittens.

A tea cozy was the answer.  So what is step one of a tea cozy?  

Knit it.  Done.

Now I want to felt it just a little bit, not so much to shrink it, but rather just enough to make one amorphous fabric that will completely seal in the heat.  

Of to do a little felting.
