HI all,
I've enjoyed looking at everyone's WIPs and FOs, and wanted to share my project. I made the Shigra Floor Bag from Folk Bags by Vicki Square. I used Cascade 220 instead of Classic Elite Montera. (CLM is really luxurious and felts well, but I don't like the excessively fuzzy look of the felted yarn.)
I learned to knit a few months ago, and this was my first intarsia project. I had no idea what I was in for, which is why I named this project "The Bag from Hell".
WIP
Finished bag, prefelting. Sasha the cat agreed to pose for scale
After felting
The bottom of the bag
I'd brought the finished, freaking huge prefelted bag to show to my work colleagues and got nice comments. I brought it back after it was felted and they couldn't believe it was the same project. As one colleague said, "I said it was looked good before, but I was only being polite!" LOL
