The Lucy Bag

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.

Little Felted Knit Bags

I knit a few little bags and then felted them. I am never quite sure how much they will shrink in the felting process. One I used wool and eyelash yarn, one was mohair and wool and the last one was just wool. These would make cute doll handbags or business calling card holders or gift bags.

This little bag was knit with brown wool and a pale green mohair yarn. I put marbles inside this bag. Scroll down to see this bag with the marbles inside.

This little bag was knit with wool and eyelash yarn. All you can see is the eyelash yarn. It's a furry little bag, lol!!!

I put some flat marbles inside this bag. I can put business/calling cards in the bag and the marbles not only help the cards to be raised up higher so they are seen, but the marbles also weigh the bag down and act as a paper weight too.

This would also make a great gift bag for a small gift.
