Dumpling Bag

Finished another quickie project. I originally saw this cute bag in Interweave Knits Fall 2008 called Dumpling Bag.

Pre-felting.

003
To give an idea of size. Approximately the size of a personal watermelon.

I knit with 2 strands on big US 13 needles which eats up practically a whole skein of wool. Then I add a chain stitch around the bag with little French knots (a first for me in embellishments).

005
Felted to the size of a cantaloupe.
 Threw it in the washing machine this morning and voila, a cute bag with handles. I stuffed it with plastic bag and now in the process of drying.

I had to take advantage of the sunshine and take some pictures outside.
