Very cool bag! I still haven't gotten up the nerve to try and felt anything....

[CrochetCathy]

No laughter here. Oohs and ahs a plenty! Love the colors.

It's beautiful! I love the striping. Can you please share which yarn you used, and how may balls? It looks like Patons SWS, which I've been thinking of making a bag with. I've heard it shrinks a lot.

[kdwaye]

I love it! How much yarn did you need? I bought some Caron Felt It and want to make a purse/bag and hope that I bought enough.

[Riohnna]

It is gorgeous!

[lhasaapsolady]

Looks great, love the color combination.

[JoBug]

Thank you all for the compliments! Yes, it was Pattons SWS the color is natural Blue, I too LOVE how it self stripes like that, ty!! It took me 5 balls, and I used 5 coupons, went everyday to use them..lol..

if you go to my blog, at the end here, you will see the before and after felting to see the shrinkage, I myself didnt think it shrunk too much, just enough that I like it. the pattern came from here
