From Cloche to Bowl

What was originally a cloche pattern ended up as bowl after I felted it too long and became too small for my head!

One-Skein Bag

This is my latest project. It's a small bag, obviously. I felted it for a short time because I didn't want it to be smaller than it already was.

Fake-a-Gamo bag

I made another version of the Fake-a-Gamo bag. This time I knitted it in the round so I don't have to sew the bag panels, something I prefer not doing. The bag is a request from my mother-in-law. She wanted it in black and gray. I'll probably do one again using the same method, but using a brighter color. It will have to be on my to-do list as I'd like to work on another felted bag. I made a cloche hat a few weeks ago and that's waiting to be felted.

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.

Fake-a-Gamo bag

I finally finished the Fake-a-Gamo bag, but didn't follow the pattern when it came to the handle. I am thinking of adding a lining to the inside of the bag.

Waldorf Doll

I just ordered a Waldorf doll kit and have started working on the doll's head before I realized I didn't have everything I need to complete it, such as pins and a good pair of fabric scissors. After making this, I hope to make more using other materials from the book I purchased recently.
