My latest obsession.
Oh boy.
I tried something for the first time this weekend. I've read quite a bit about it, and am utterly facinated by it.
Looks like a pretty spiffy red bag, right?
It's wool. I washed it in hot water. Twice.
This is straight out of the second wash...
It went from 13" x 10" with a 16" drop to 8" x 7" with a 11" drop.
After pinning it down to square off the edges and letting it dry, I ended up with a nice finished product:
It's all I can do today to not run out to the yarn store and buy out all the wool yarn.

Very nice! Why is it cute when a handbag does that but not a sweater?!
yeah, what she said.
Really nice - I'm jealous. I have NEVER made anything. My neighbor tried to teach me to knit - it wasn't pretty....

Very cute!
Isn't that the cutest little purse!!
I'm still working on a little blanket that I started for Matthew three years ago...in fact, Matthew started unraveling it today!
That's a lovely bag. You've inspired me to get back into the knitting. It's years since I did it but I'm starting to hunt out patterns for odd things now.
Thanks all, it was a lot of fun to make. It's for sale on etsy!
