I finished knitting my bag. I love doing it. It knits up fast on big needles, and I figure that my mistakes won't show after it's felted. I used Webs' Valley Yarns. The Yarn Harlot just talked about what great, cheap yarn it is, and it felts beautifully. This is my third knit to felt bag with it.
The best part was the grafting. I took the two ends of the strap and did this cool thing with a tapestry needle that made it look like it was one knit strip. What kind of genius thinks this kind of thing up?http://www.knitty.com/issuesummer04/FEATtheresasum04.html
It came out of the washing machine (3 wash cycles on hot later) looking like this. I want to make one every day. It's magic. Shrinking things on purpose--what fun!
