We had a snow day today - but we actually got more rain than snow here on the coast. It didn't turn over to snow until noon - but I'm not complaining about having a day off! Actually I'm fighting off a cold, so I just watched HGTV and DIY and knit. I made the 'ball band' felted purse from the pattern that Monica was nice enough to post on her blog. I used Paton's Classic wool in black and LionBrand Wool in "Ocean Blues". It's 12 x 16 before felting. It felted down to 8 x 81/2 x 2 1/2" deep and is drying now.
Here is the pattern. I like the way it came out but If I made another one I would probably make it deeper, and use a brighter contrasting yarn so the black slip-stitches would show up better.

Pretty! I love making felted bags.
What a great use of a snow day - making an entire project rather than just working on some on going thing!
Hey!! that is almost the same colors as mine :) except i used cascade 220 in aruba (or something). I too would make it deeper, it is just a cute little thing, my wallet does not fit!
I like the bag, but I love mine !!
Your bag turned out great, my eldest daughter says she likes the colors of yours more than any of the ones I have made. And I absolutely love the baby items in the previous post.
love the bag and I love the colors.
