The felted satchel (for a friend) went over great! He's been using it since he got it, and it seems to be holding up well. It was my first attempt at stripes and my largest felted project ever. The finished product is large enough to hold a legal pad and with pockets for wallet and keys, it's perfect for what he needs -- a writing bag. I miscalculated the amount of felting it would need and had to put it back in the washer after it had dried (which took almost a week!).
The two flower washcloths I completed were fun to knit, and pretty quick projects. I gave one to a friend in early December and the other to the baby I'm a spiritual parent for. The cotton chenille is so soft -- it's like a velvet washcloth. I hadn't ever knit with cotton before, and was surprised at how inelastic it is. I had to be much more careful with my stitches than I am with wool.
I'll try and get photos of the projects up soon.
