B4 Before Felting by Knitapalooza


Here is my bag. The photo was an act of luv since it is about 105 degrees outside. I could not get the colors to show up when I took the picture inside. Good old fashion sunlight did the trick. Well, I finally finished it. It was really great when I had the time to finish it. It is currently in the washing machine felting but I figured I would be to busy to post those pictures for awhile, so I had atleast post this one to show you all what I have done. The pony/crow beads are a purple iris glass, which I am dieing to see how they turn out after felting. I am not going to add buttons I don't think. But one thing that I will point out is that this bag was fun to make. Quick easy and fun. The yarn that I used was single stranded Noro Kureyon. The skein actualy had a yellow in it but since Yellow is one of my least favorite colors I removed it from the skeins. I like the way the colors worked out without the yellow. I donated all the yellow to someone that luvs yellow! I have 2 more stacks of yarn to make this bag again. One in Noro Kureyon #116 which is black/grey/brugandy with strands of green. I am going to be removing most of the brugandy because I am trying for a Black/Grey look. The beads on that one are going to be silver. I am so ready to cast that one on. But my needles are a little busy on a Pinwheel Sweater. I should be able to cast on later tonight if not first thing tomorrow. Cross your fingers.Posted by Picasa
