Whoopsie Doodles is a technical term for "I done messed up."
I crocheted what was a lovely combination of a rose colored wool mixed with a sparkly blue. It was all even and nicey nicey. Then I felted it, and got this:
It looks vaguely like a disproportional woman wearing a bikini. Or maybe it's just me, and my incredible sense of ignorance artistry.
The only thing I can think to do with it is this (minus the bits of string hanging off, of course):
This one looks a bit like a hot dog in a sparkly bun.
Blast.
All that work! I have to turn it into something. Anything. It's just too, too cruel otherwise. And, of course, life is NEVER that.
Will let you know as soon as I figure out the fate of this poor, misshapen monster.
I hate it when that happens!!! I read that you can cut out coasters from felted mis-steps!

Julie, I’ll have a houseful of coasters soon, at the rate I’m going!
Ah, live and learn. I guess. Don’t get too fancy when felting. That must be my lesson.

Ooops, maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned linings?

George, HA! No, can’t blame this one on the lining. It’s 100% learning curve, as I used a non-wool yarn with wool and found out the non-wool doesn’t “felt” so it doesn’t shrink proportionately. A new bit of needlework wisdom to pass along to generations to come.
