From Jess: I really enjoyed knitting this, it was my first time using circular needles - 4.5mm - and I was much amused that knitting every row produced stocking stitch. I don't know if I would use beige again for felting ( I'd read that whites don't felt up well, didn't know about light colours. ) The dark brown started felting almost immediately, but the beige took ages. I finally lost patience with it and was really rough with it in the kitchen sink with hot soapy water. That seemed to do the trick, although it could probably do with another washing session as it's still a little floppy.
