SUCCESS!!!

Now to finish. Add beads & zipper

Thursday, June 27

another bag

i was working on this bag - i ran out of yarn
Michael's May or May NOT be able to get more
i need ONE skein to finish

i considered using a different color for the trim OR another yarn - not feeling either choice. PLUS there could be compatability issues with a different yarn
so now ... it's a waiting game until i can get ONE skein

UPDATE on the "OTHER" bag

trying to recreate this bag

















so far, i haven't gotten vary far
 


FELTING AGAIN!!

I let the bag spin during felting.
 :(
i SHOULD have stopped it & started over. it BUGS me that i can see SSOO much stitch definition
NANCY said to soak it in the kitchen sink in cold water w 1/2 cup white cider vinegar. STRETCH it & then, felt it again!
HOPE IT WORKS!!
