It's times like this that I wish I liked drinking......

I felted my hipster. My baby. The yarn i waited almost a month for. $15 for this bag. Many hours enjoyed knitting it. Then it goes into the washing machine. It is mangled. It looks like a drowned rat. The pouch/pocket of it stretched weirdly and the flap wont budge if I try to stretch it to make them the same size. It is hairy. I want to cry. Do I have any other option besides cutting the pouch and sewing it up????? Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
