Same Yarn, Different Outcome


I used the same yarn for these two bags, but I prefer how the yarn turned out on the French Market Bag (left). I have a similar yarn in different shades of pink which I plan to use for another Market Bag.

Finished Projects

I made another Buttonhole bag, but this time I made the bag longer, much like a bag that I really like which I got from Vietnam.

Here's the bag before felting. I forgot to take its dimensions. Oh well.




Here's the bag after felting. There seems to be a crease on this side, which I hope I can still fix.


I also made my very first French Market Bag. I don't really like the color of this yarn, but it's in my stash so I wanted to use it for this bag because I wasn't sure how it will turn out.


Here's the bag after felting. I found the perfect box to use for shaping it. I just hope the bag will stand on its own and will retain it's boxy shape once it's dried. If it does, then I'd like to make another one.
