I finished!
It's not the right size for how I *intended* my laptop to fit into it. However, it I put the laptop into it the other way, it may still work.
What I learned:
1. Hand-felting a swatch takes much less time than hand-felting an entire bag. I'm not sure I enjoy hand felting large objects...
2. If the felted item is knit in fair isle, knit the swatch in fair isle. (for some reason, I knit a single color stockinette stitch swatch and figured that would work. Obviously my math turned out all wrong, so it didn't work)
3. I like felting. I can see how this may become an addiction to some people.
Overall, dispite the size discrepencies, I'm very happy with how it turned out. I've written the pattern down, and kept track of the size of the bag before felting and after felting so now I know more accurately what the felting ratio is.
Is this a pattern you guys might be interested in?
