Finished my Ruched Bag (Two Old Bags pattern). I love the pattern but am not happy with the way the bag came out - it felted far too quickly and far too thickly! I shall definitely make the pattern again though but will use Cascade 220 as I trust how it felts!
I am not going to wait for the handles I ordered for the bag - I am going to use some others that I have already and save the new ones for something else.

Found them!
I managed to find my lovely handles only to find I didn't have any suitable for the next two bags *Ruched Bag and Market Squares), so I had to order some didn't I?
I have been good though - I've only bought some yarn to make Auntie Ann a clappy for christmas, It was in Hipknits sale - 600g aran for £10.50 (plus pp) with approx 900/1080 yards, so I should have enough to make her a good size one. I have also swapped a book for some yarn this week.
At the moment the thought of buying yarn horrfies me for some reason. I think Amber has managed to drum into me that I have enough! I am saving up for Ally Pally though - yes, we are going this year PROVIDED my sight doesn't get too bad.

I'm finally ...
.... making a bag but not the Mitred Squares one from Interweave Felt 2008. I am making the Two Old Bags Ruched bag in pink and black Fleece Artist Kid Aran from, wait for it, MY STASH!
Trouble is, I appear to have mislaid all the lovely handles I bought last year so I have had to order some.
I have also priced up some handles for the Red Market Squres and they are going to be almost £40.00!
