Knit, Purl, That's It!

Finish, Felt




















DONE!

The pattern is a shop pattern (I'm pretty sure, as there is no info at all on it, not even a designer's name- sad) from The Black Sheep Wool Shop in Salt Lake City, Utah, which sadly is lacking presence on the web (tisk, tisk.) If you REALLY want it

It calls for a yarn called Heillo, I knit it with Plymouth's Galway(abt 210 yds,) 2 balls of the red, 1 of the gold with most of the gold and half of one red left over.

Size US 8 needles

gauge is not important, but my bag did felt more than my mom's. I knew it would, having felted with this yarn before and knowing that it felts down tight and quick. I think she knit it in Cascade 220. I also made the handles shorter, as I know from my mom's bag that they will stretch eventually.

Tomorrow I will go in search of the perfect button for it.
