Remember the Daisy Mae Bag?:
It got felted this weekend.
This is what it looked like after the first run through the washer:
This was the end result after the second run through the washer:
Overall, I was pleased with my felting experience. I enjoyed knitting the bag and learning intarsia. However, if I had chosen my own pattern for this bag, it would not have been a flower. (Being that the pattern was part of the class, I didn’t really have a choice about the flower.) It probably would have been a skull and crossbones or flames or something like that if I had gotten to pick out the design. So while the bag is cute, it’s a little too girlie for my taste. It also needs a closure. I’m thinking magnetic snap.

Um…how is it that you were able to post yesterday when you don’t even have internet at home? How curious…
Oops, meant Saturday.
Well, that looks fabulous, even if it is girly! Sometimes you *need* girly.
