This is my first knitted bag. These pictures was taken right after I finished knitting it. Afterwards, I put it through the washing machine a couple times on hot. Since it is 100% wool, it shrinks up, a felted fabric.

Originally, this yarn was used to make a hat. I was a really, really new knitter back then. I had no idea that not all yarn was itchy! I later frogged the hat and recycled it as this. A much better use!!

I love this bag. I use it to carry small knitting projects.
