New and Improved Clutch

Thanks for all of your advice! I felted the flower and I do like it better. (The color is still not showing up right). Anyway, I made it a pin so it can come off and another pin put on. I made a cowl out of the same yarn as the flower - so it might look pretty on that too. So many options LOL. And my knitting needle bouquet is growing!

Another Clutch

Lately I can't seem to make just one of anything! I'm on a clutch kick and a flower kick so I combined the two in with this one. The bag is made from my kool-aid dyed yarn (Knitpicks bare bulky in variegated shades of 'grape') and the flower is made from some leftover yarn. The flower is a pin from Nicky Epstein's Knitted Flowers. The color actually matches the color of the clutch better than it shows in the photo. Do you think I should felt it? The pin in the book is not felted - but mine is made from 100% wool, so it will felt.
