Hello. My name is Dianna and I am a fiberholic. 'Nough said.
The other day, I was teaching my Queen Kahuna sock class, and my DD came with me. She forgot her knitting bag. Convenient of her, wouldn't you say? She drove me batty with her boredom. I finally sent her around the shop to find something to knit. One thing DD is good for always in a yarn shop is yet another scarf, or yet another bag. Especially felted bags.
This is the felted bag that DD found on this particular occasion. Knit on 10.5 & 15 needles, carrying one strand of Donegal Tweed in gray and one strand of Odyssey in blues/brown/gray together, it is a quick knit. Fourteen rows of garter stitch, a decrease round, an increase round, stockinette to make 12", then decreasing, a three needle bindoff, straps and felting. We even found cool beaded embellishments to put on.....
The one above is DD's version. She did 14 rows of SS instead of garter, for a rolled top. Here is my unfelted version with green Donegal Tweed and Odyssey in color 404. For both of these, the beaded embellishments were multihued, and happen to pick up on the extra colors in our yarns....
