I just finished felting my striped tote, and here it is drying. This is not really a one skein project, but the base of the bag is one skein (or less) and the rest is bits and pieces of leftover yarn. My tote has a funny shape! That's because I used so many different yarns in it (cascade 220, galway, patons, brown sheep) that some felted faster than others. But I like it, funny shape and all. And I love that I made it completely with leftover yarn - like getting a great tote bag for free!

Which of your yarns felted the fastest? Your purse is lovely! This is one of the patterns i would like to knit from the book and you've inspired me!
Nice felted striped tote. What pattern is it?
And is that bright pink one of knitpicks wota? I think I have some of that left from some clogs for dd. And that blue above the pink is "rain" wota?

The pattern was from the book "One Skein" by Leigh Radford. I know I didn't use any knitpicks WOTA in the bag because I don't have any. The pink was probably leftover Patons Merino from the felted ballerina slippers, and the blue was probably Patons also, leftover from another felted bag I made. I think the purple and the green were Cascade 220. I should probably save labels so I know what I'm knitting with - but that would take all the fun out of it LOL.
Hi, your One Skein Pal, here.
I LOVE felting. It is my new passion . . . which is probably why I don't like lace. LOL.
Love your bag. What great colors and good use of what you had on hand!
Hi SP - good to hear from you! Yes, I do love felting I don't have a lot of patience for lace, but I'm trying. I'll post a picture of a finished lace project. It's pretty pathetic - but it's lace!
