Pre-fulling measurements:

Mine was about 13.5 x 8.5

Love You Tube. Too funny, you actually posted the machine-washing-action. I am going to keep mine as is, though may need to redo the cord. I haven't decided yet. More importantly, I finally unearthed my mom's cardigan and I got back to work on it. Phew! Guilt temporarily suspended.

woohoo! looking good, both of them!
