hmmm have to figure out how to upload these from the camera AND turn them so they are right side up in the blog... you canNOT teach an old grandma-to-be new tricks it appears. this is a pic of the bag before felting. it measures approximately 8" across at the top of the bag; 14" wide at the widest part of the bag; and 15" tall. I actually made this bag TWICE already as I ripped this one bag after finding more than one hole-making-mistake in it!

a close up of the mixed yarns at the top of the bag and the bottoms of the handles-to-be.... it is truly very lovely in person and I'd do this one again! Maybe even in the same colors as I bought two skeins of the brown and did not use much of the Melissa.....

close up of the finished felting with the mixed yarns. nice in person, sucky picture, and this is from a $1,000 camera? eeeek! of course they would blame that on operator error. who me? surely not me who messed up this shot. but of course I am posting this before the ones you have already read and two of those are "golden" to say the least in their hue.... sigh.... not a good technical week....i'll just blame it all on becoming a grandma to be! teehee

Trying to get the pictures in a LOGICAL order here. According to my previous results if we read from top to bottom.. but it posts from bottom to top.... then (Gosh this sounds like an if then theory and that sounds like school!) then I need to post the last thing first and the first thing last so it reads logically.... ummmm sure sounds right to me....

I took this picture first on top of the pattern page I used.

Oooooh the first pair of first grandchild baby booties are done! They are so cute and so tiny I do hope that the parents to be will like them. I used the pattern at this link to make them www.socknitters.com/PATTERNS/bluebaby.htm
