NONI Felted Bag KAL

I am knitting a NONI FELTED BAG with others from the Yahoo group:

FELTED BAGS

You must check out these great Noni bag patterns best pictured here:


NONI BAGS AT YARNZILLA

I'm doing the green Noni Garden Party Bag

with Cascade 220 double stranded and

1 skein of Brown Sheep Hand Painted Originals mixed in for

3 rows every 10 rows

Here's a picture of my progress so far......

I think doing the flowers will be great fun!!

BOWLING BAG PURSE PROBLEM

Here's the link to this great FREE pattern that many people seem to be knitting lately.

FELTED BOWLING PURSE by CURIOUS CREEK

look under "Patterns & Kits"

It was easy to follow but I ran into a problem bringing the band around the bottom to the other side and joining in with the last triangle.

It didn't come out even....

so, Now I have to try to figure out how to put it back together while adding some rows.

What a mess !

FELTED HAT OR BAG ???

FELTED HAT OR BAG???

I started out making a

SUKI BAG with Cascade 220 double stranded

A nice variegated blue yarn with some fun fir trim.

As I started running out of yarn, I abruptly began decreasing and finished it off

today (while sitting outside in the sunshine).

Meanwhile, it looks more like a HAT than a bag !!! The fir trim may

roll up to be a nice brim....

I'm now wondering whether or not to leave off handles and felt as is.
