I knit this bag called
The Lucy Bag and then tossed it in the washer to felt it. I used some wool yarn that I had knit vests with and didn't like the vests, so I ripped them apart a while back and decided to knit the Lucy Bag using these 2 yarns. I dyed the light pink yarn with a second dying of prickly pear cactus juice and the second dying resulted in a pale pink. The first dying of some other yarn was a darker mauve pink color. The variegated yarn with the green and orange colors was dyed with Kool-Aid. I knew I wouldn't have enough yarn to knit this all out of one of the yarn colors, so I combined them both into this bag.
Here is Lucy after she was knit and before felting:

| The bag is empty, so it looks rather limp. |

| One handle is longer so that it loops through the shorter handle. |

| The bottom of the bag. It is knit like a hat that spirals out. |
