Hola @colleenthurber. I really like the crown and the neat stitching you used. I like working with felt too.
Interesting question you pose at the end... I knitted a scarf this Xmas lengthways, but the person I gave it to said it was too long and could I shorten it... too bad I would have to cut the knitting and then find a way to stop it from unravelling ...
Oh no! I don't know anything about shortening knitting other than undoing it, but it sounds like that wouldn't work for a lengthwise scarf. Let me know if you figure a solution out!
