How Big????

 Even after years of designing felt bags I still have the odd few moments of doubt which assail me when  I have finished knitting and before I commit my work to the washing machine to felt.
My daughter thought this latest design was amazing and after much laughter.....
She decided I must have made her a new sleeping bag!
or maybe it was a snug pod to huddle in at festivals!
I love the moments when I open the washing machine to see my work transformed into felt. Each new colour blend and shape is still exciting to see, and after stretching and shaping I think this latest pattern has been a success.
So much of a success that I have now "lost" my new bag to Emma. 
Which I guess it OK. Although I made the bag from my leftover yarn stash - so there is no way of making another one exactly the same.....

  3. I was so excited to see how the colours would felt together. I can never be sure how it will come out. I guess that's what I love about the craft :O)

. I love to create, always have... even as a child I was always up to my ears in fabric, yarn, paper and glue. So now I create bags, the process I use developed over time, and is still changing, each new wool or design presents it's own challenge. So I don't get bored. Craft Shows are so much fun,meeting folk, both customers and other crafters. I always get such a buzz when we are setting up and a plain old marquee or hall gets transformed into an arcade of interesting creations.
