Machine knitting and felting

Below are more machine knitting samples. All of the white yarn used in these samples is untreated lambswool that should felt when washed. I tried this out - putting the samples in the washing machine at 60 degrees - but it didn't work as well as I'd hoped. I need to use more soap next time.

The pre-felting pictures have blue backgrounds, while the post-felting pictures have black backgrounds.
