Yarn: Paton's UpCountry, colorway is "Red Nancy" and was hand-dyed by Celena (that would be me) and let me just say that I am in love with this yarn. I've heard it may have been discontinued so i'm going to have to look into it. I did find a place to buy it online although thier shipping fees are outrageous so I'm going to keep looking.
Needles: US 15
Pattern: my own design, to be shared later
Here it is pre-felted. I just love, love, love how the color turned out. It is exactly what I was hoping for. I'm so excited about this. (I hope the recipient is half as excited as I am)
And here it is post-felting.
ps ... this is a hint of what is to come in the "crafty news" department
so, i have to ask, what is "felting", whatever it is makes the bag look awesome, so I'm dying to know!
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous, Celena! I wish I could knit as well as you do! I love the Booga bag and want one...Maybe I'll send you some yarn and you can whip one up for me? LOL! As if you had extra time? LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this bag. The color is fantastic - you have real talent dyeing. Did you have the bag in mind when you dyed the yarn?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
