| Felted Soap Cozy With Leaf Reviewed by Jamie Cotter on 2011-12-21 |
 |
| Cozy is really nice but felts much better in the washer then in the sink. I crocheted the cozy leaving one end open, washed the cozy so it would felt nicely and then added the bar of soap. I just left one end open so I could put in new soap when the soap was gone.
