MORE felted bowls

I've decided that the Patons yarn felts up better than the Cascade. See how the red bowl at upper left shrunk more, and the stitches aren't visible? That's the only bowl in this picture knit with Patons. The rest are Cascade 220, and I re-felted them trying to get them to shrink and felt more, to no avail. Maybe I should felt them yet again? I like the color selection with Cascade better than Patons, at least what is easily available to me at local shops. The Cascade is felting tolerably -- the bowls hold their shape and all -- but compared to the Patons, it's leaving me frustrated.

At any rate, I have this pattern memorized! It's from one of my favorite books, One Skein: 30 Quick Projects to Knit and Crochet

I vouch for them in cheapness, quickness of shipping, and tacky christmas sequined ornaments such as I haven't seen since I was a child.

It won't let me html the link, so you'll have to put it together yourself. Sorry 'bout that.

Dude.
Seriously? I suck. I meant:

or:

product.aspx?sku=710013

which also felts beautifully, and has even more colors.
