My ramblings about knitting, spinning, weaving, sewing -- all kinds of fiber geekiness.

Felting is so much fun!
As I posted previously, I finished my French Market Bag. Here it is pre-felting: and post-felting:
I just love it. I'm very very very late jumping on the felting bandwagon. My knitting pal Liana has been doing this stuff forever. But, better late than never.
I love the bag. I knitted 2 of them, but I must have done something wrong.....they didn't come out looking like they were supposed to. Actually, I ended up throwing them away....did you do exactly like the directions or is there a secret I missed? LOL
I knit the handles quite a bit longer than the directions, once I made it to the color change. I don't know if my gauge was off or what, but, per the directions, the handles were several inches shorter than the prescribed measurements.
I want to do a bigger bag next time so I can fit more junk in it. This one is perfect for a sock-knitting bag.

LeAnn, I LOVE the bag, it looks awesome!!! You have inspired me to try one, can I do it in one color??
Also, I have the yarn for our KAL, the Fiber Trends Felted clogs. I can't wait to get started.
