New handbag, knit and wet-felted in the washing machine. Chain and clamps from local Ace Hardware store, right across the street from the yarn shop – very convenient! Made with Cascade’s Eco yarn - 100% Natural Peruvian Wool. Very firm and sturdy! Made this one for myself.
That's lovely! I love the combination of the yarn and chain.
ReplyDeleteDid you sew the knitted piece on after you felted it?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny!
ReplyDeleteCassandra, the front (& back) panels were sewn on after the rest of the bag was felted. It was a free pattern - http://www.knittingdaily.com/media/p/27922.aspx
- and I waited to see the finished size before I knit the add-on.
This one is a beauty. I love the green (of course) and the gold handle is the right touch. You sure know how to spoil yourself.
ReplyDeleteI love the green!
ReplyDeleteI love the shape - very feminine and sweet. And I also like the variety in the textures and surface design. And the use of metal. Very nicely done and certainly worth keeping as your very own!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
Fun design! And a perfect color for spring :)
