I crocheted the felted messenger bag from the Crochet Me book for my momExcept I didn't pay attention to the gauge and I also switched between different needlesThe actual body of the bag is really long, which I guess is not that badBut the strap is extremely long alsoAnd when my mom tried on the bag, it reached past her kneesSo I need help fixing thisBut I don't want to undo the entire thingWould anyone know how I can fix it?Thanks very much.
try soaking in mild vinegar solution.
try an sos pad if that dont work try using vinegar and baking soda
Be careful using anything abrasive, even baking soda, it can ruin the nonstick surface if you're not careful.
try using vinegar and baking soda to scrub off any burnt on food, and remove stains.
Honey, you can't felt acrylic yarnI'm really sorry to have to tell you thatA pattern for a felted item is going to produce an extremely large itemYou then put it through a felting process to shrink it to the size you want it to beIn the felting process, the item not only shrinks, the fibers entwine with each other to produce a thick fabric that has specific qualities (one of which is that the fabric can be cut without raveling) that make it both beautiful and wear-resistant Only wool or other animal-based yarn will feltFelting requires that the item be agitated in hot water to start the fibers entertwining and the item shrinking But acrylic yarn does not act that wayIf you are going to use acrylic yarn, you need to select projects that are designed for acrylic yarn-or at least, projects that are designed not to require feltingThe best thing yoiu can do is chalk this project up to a learning experience (we've all had 'em, I assure you) and unravel the yarn to be used in another project.
