It's done! I am so absolutely thrilled with how this purse came out! I had so much fun making it. I am usually not a fan of seed stitch, but once this was felted, it came together really great. I did almost get myself into a bit of trouble. Being as I hand-dyed the yarn. I ran a bit short. By the time I had sewn together the bag, I had only a few inches of yarn left. I was so happy that I had enough to finish the bag that I didn't think of what I was going to use to sew on the handles! Of course, I got to scramble on that a little, but I found satin ribbon that matched the purple polka-dotted lining! Here is a shot of the dotty lining! Oops....is that chocolatey goodness peeking out?
A better picture of the (dark) chocolate and the last fun thing I found for my partner! I hope she likes it all!
Here is half of hubby's birthday socks. I still have to knit the second one.
And a belated thank you to Cathy! I really like the stitch markers and the knitterly note cards! The pictures don't show them well, but the markers are a pretty pink and clear.
Soon (I hope!), there will be picks of the yarn and such for my Sockapalooza socks! I NEED to start those!

that bag is beautiful! I love the colors, and how did you get seed stitch to show up after felting?? My seed stitch always disappears ...
You made my bag! That is sooooo cool! And it turned out great, too! Love the lucite handles you used....
I wanted to let you know that I've been using the bag ever since I received it. Its holding up really well and I've gotten tons of compliments on it. I think it's even better with the ribbon handle attachment since the handles never snag or anything.
