KnitWerk

This is the first in my series of knitting bags from felted sweaters (the ALP bag from previous post was the second bag). Designed for a redheaded friend with feminine tastes, it’s from a rosy brown women’s sweater, felted to make a small-to-medium-sized bag. I needlefelted a rose on each side patterned loosely after the lining fabric.

(Picky grammarians take note: I am aware that the correct term for throwing wool in the washing machine to shrink is “fulling,” but it just seems so contrived to put it that way. You’ll have to substitute the correct term in your mind as you read my blog. I don’t mind if you cluck and shake your head.)
