Felting and Blocking loom on the horizon...

I finished the cat bed, and I have to say i'm quite impressed. I wove in all the ends last night and Floyd promptly sat his cat butt in it and took a nap. I was very happy he took to it so quickly, I was almost expecting him to sniff and then walk away. My parents are going out of town this week so I have to keep an eye on my little sister and brother and go stay over at their house for the next 5 days or so. This means I have access to a washing machine... time to Felt! I have never felted anything before, but I am going to follow the directions on Wendy's website to see if I can teach myself. I have also never blocked anything, so I am going to start with the cat bed (good practice for when I do my sweater). I am really going to try to take and post some pictures of my finished stuff tonight, then i'll see what they looked like before felting and blocking.
My second class tonight is cancelled because of midterm exams so I will be getting home about 3 hours earlier than i normally do (yay!). I usually hate mondays, but tomorrow is actually going to be more stressful for me than today!
