Knitted bag
An almost finished piece! The straps still need to be sewed in place, but I don’t feel like doing that right now.
The bag half way through. Not very pretty. Sort of a big shapeless sack on circular needles.
Then, however, I finished it. Here is is, strap and all, ready for felting. It looks quite nice here - the yarn is really lovely - Rowan Yorkshire Tweed Aran - really strong colours and good stitch definition. However, as it was destined for felting the stitches were a little loose.
I washed the bag and strap on a 60 degree wash twice - the second time didn’t make any difference really. I was hoping it would shrink down a wee bit more, but I’m happy with it anyway.
The picture’s a bit out of focus, sorry about that, but you get the general idea.
Looks great Isobel! love the colours!

Love the bag Isobel! Did you get the pattern from the book “Simple Knits for Sophisticated Living”? Hope you bring it to the next meet-up to show it off - I’d love to see it.
