I'm disappointed, but it's okay--it reminds me that I got too blasé after my first felting success, and that, as I've said before, it's not an exact science.

Oh, and the handles were a complete loss, I had to throw them away. They kind of folded over and felted into themselves, making these weird, ugly curly strips, thicker and wider in some places than others. I tried to press them out into more uniformity, but it didn't work.

Fortunately, I didn't buy a ton of new yarn for this one . . .
