When you cast off it should be around 10 inches by 10 inches. Throw in washer and felt. If you want the tray to be a different size just remember when you felt to knit the item 20% larger than you want it to finish. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">While the piece is felting in the washer make or get a form that is around 7 inches by 7 inches. This will allow the sides to stand up around 1/2 inch. For my form i used a piece of styrofoam and using sewing pins, pinned the edges of the project to the sides of the form. When you do this, it will cause the edges to form points that don't fit on the form, don't worry this is what is supposed happen. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">When the tray is dry, unpin from the form and then decide where you want the separator line to be. Once you have decided, wet that line. With document clips (shown in picture) pinch the bottom of the tray to form the separator line. When this section dries, take a matching or if you choose contrasting thread and sew the points on the corners, that were formed earlier, together. This will help the sides of the tray stand up straight. </div>prettyinpinkknitterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06530233956603072961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757066477589002664.post-18193227259723197022008-01-12T21:27:00.000-06:002008-01-13T17:58:29.924-06:00Make-up Bag<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH82OfvLQC8bC83nKhdom0f_d_Wveofj54wND0QCWa03q7C7g96JQOFpBU49O4gQ-2_aD_8BpsnC5ue79lwl0o0PlPHBzJm1EBjm6VzB7idkcQKvRao-OJ0eznLJK-jzkPX09cXnmDBJs/s1600-h/100_2903.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH82OfvLQC8bC83nKhdom0f_d_Wveofj54wND0QCWa03q7C7g96JQOFpBU49O4gQ-2_aD_8BpsnC5ue79lwl0o0PlPHBzJm1EBjm6VzB7idkcQKvRao-OJ0eznLJK-jzkPX09cXnmDBJs/s200/100_2903.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155114497483628850" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnhdRDMDGjz9j1PVtzUob5WRxwxdUCj7jiJkDC6yhVGluzxUQGmZqr_5A-esZ7yLzqnpx2noWJ_sNWmGpb4ySUQd5N8g7XNx15x6vLlgX30SNDDKoIRSUtiuRVESWnSJzjIGBJ8A-So5c/s1600-h/100_2899.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnhdRDMDGjz9j1PVtzUob5WRxwxdUCj7jiJkDC6yhVGluzxUQGmZqr_5A-esZ7yLzqnpx2noWJ_sNWmGpb4ySUQd5N8g7XNx15x6vLlgX30SNDDKoIRSUtiuRVESWnSJzjIGBJ8A-So5c/s200/100_2899.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155112513208738082" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrwh0LEHiiuXs8siUBOra8kVBKMHmnTbLtz0ctFgekxjvmKLLmBBC4VCqpdOzwJ5l7FmTHQl4qFM5Xa1wmkg784e8DwVczhZQj68GW6Z4gK0ROcYL5uh2mALHE5CrZZEqXpXtoLWBq8xA/s1600-h/100_2902.JPG"><img style="text-align: center;float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrwh0LEHiiuXs8siUBOra8kVBKMHmnTbLtz0ctFgekxjvmKLLmBBC4VCqpdOzwJ5l7FmTHQl4qFM5Xa1wmkg784e8DwVczhZQj68GW6Z4gK0ROcYL5uh2mALHE5CrZZEqXpXtoLWBq8xA/s200/100_2902.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155112105186844930" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Awesome and quick project!

This is usually a normal occurrence for most families....but not mine. Little bit happens to mentally be a cat so she pretty much HATES water and fights baths. Sonny was abandoned when he was little so he is really jumpy...so a bath isn't the greatest idea. Needless to say...i ended up being as wet as they were! lol! <div><br /></div><div>Good things did happen today though. Sonny ate and drank a whole bowl of food and water (a big feat for him). He behaved great all night long and wasn't as weird as he normally is and didn't spend the night in his corner! It was great! Other good news is that i FINALLY got some of my Christmas presents wrapped! The tags turned out way cute too, i have been in a pretty crafty mood recently! What can i say...i'm kinda dorky that way! ;)</div>prettyinpinkknitterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06530233956603072961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757066477589002664.post-50516253365435688662007-12-18T22:32:00.000-06:002007-12-18T22:40:39.165-06:00Christmas is coming...Well it is that time of year again.....its CHRISTMAS!!!<div>i HEART Christmas! school is finally out for the semester...ahhh four glorious months to be free to do everything (or nothing) that i want! although i am extremely excited to be out of school, i still can't believe that it passed so quickly. i look back now and have no idea where all the time went.</div><div><br /></div><div>christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat.....
