Fair Isle Bag



This bag looked exactly like this in August. It just took me a little under six months to add this!



All of the yarn in this bag was handspun by yours truly. It's all from a sampler pack I got off of ebay a few years ago. I didn't realize that different fibers would felt at different rates (gasp!), hence the wonkiness of the shape.

The fair isle charts are from Wendyknit's fearless Fair Isle. The handles are from Joann's. The lining is cat fabric I bought from Tipper. This went through about four rounds in the washer and if you look, you can see where I ran out of one kind of blue yarn and subbed in another of a different fiber type that felted at a different rate.

Any questions?
