my dr. suess-like felted bag

This is my pretty felted bag. I have made it out of Lamb's Pride wool/mohair blend. I have used the two colours "Sapphire" and "Aztec Turquoise". These are the "before" pictured... it was just over 26" high, and was cast on as 120 stitches on size 13 US needles.



This is what it looked like after I threw it in the wash twice (hot setting, with a little soap), and was left to air-dry.



I'm very proud of it.. it shrunk by 25 to 30%; and it's so fun to wear!!
