scoop bag



I love how this turned out, but God do I hate large felted projects. working with two strands of stiff wool is hell on the hands and takes forever. big yaaaaawn. found the leather handles on e-bay and added some felted roses and metal purse feet. glad this is finished finally.

my Summer of Baby Knits is almost done. only two more baby gifts to go!! this little cardigan is for my workmate Maggie's baby Brooklyn. I barely had enough yarn to finish this and this color has been discontinued. I had to shorten the arms by about 1 inch. I was sweating on this one, but I think the sleeve length is perfect. whew!!
