Mad hatter v 2.0

A while ago I wrote about the mohawk-hat I was about to knit. Well, I finished one. Which I gave to my friend, and she felted it on her own. Then I made another one, tied 340 knots to make the mohawk (!), and threw it in the washer downstairs. See, the thing about felting is, it's kind of a high risk sport, you can never ever be sure of the outcome. And lo and behold - my first attempt came out way to felted, and way too small. Hrmph.

All right, fine. I'll make another one. So I did, and threw it VERY tentatively in the washer at my dad's last night. This one turned out slightly under-felted (if that's even a word), but hey... I'm kind of pleased anyway.
We look good, don't we? Yeah, we do ^^
(And yes, that's an Arsenal shirt)
