..MY KNITTED TOTE FROM MY DYED YARN..

TODAY I DECIDED TO TINKER WITH MY WOOL YARN THAT I DYED ON SUNDAY..I HAD A REALLY CUTE PROJECT PLANNED FOR THESE 2 HANKS BUT THEN CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT I ONLY HAD ABOUT 186 YARDS SO I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD ENOUGH FOR THE PROJECT THAT I WANTED TO DO SO I DECIDED TO GO WITH A BASIC TOTE BAG TO PUT SOME OF MY KNITTING IN(PROBABLY SOCKS)..

SHOWED THIS PICTURE ONCE IN AN EARLIER POST..

HERE IS THE BEGINNING OF THE TOTE..THE PATTERN CALLED FOR SIZE 13 CIRCULARS AND 13 DPNS(BUT I DON'T HAVE SIZE 13 DPNS)SO I WENT WITH SIZE 8 NEEDLES AND OF COURSE SIZE 8 DPNS..WHICH I LIKED ALOT BETTER BECAUSE I MADE THIS SAME TOTE FOR ONE OF MY FRIENDS BACK IN THE SUMMER AND IT WAS A LITTLE BIG..I REALLY LIKE THE SIZE OF THIS ONE THOUGH..:):)..

GETTING IT ALL SORTED OUT ON THE DPNS..


AND THIS IS WHAT MY FINISHED PROJECT LOOKS LIKE..I DON'T HAVE A WASHER SO I TRIED FELTING IT WITH MY HANDS BUT THIS IS HONESTLY A VERY LONG PROCESS SO WHEN WE GET MOVED BACK TO WV I AM GOING TO GET IT FELTED THE RIGHT WAY BUT FOR NOW I AM JUST BLOCKING IT AS WELL AS I CAN UNTIL THEN..

UP CLOSE OF THE MULTIPLE COLORS..

THIS IS THE FELTED BAG THAT I MADE FOR CARRIE BACK IN THE SUMMER WITH THE SAME PATTERN USING THE SIZE 13 CIRCULARS AND I DIDN'T HAVE 13 DPNS AT THAT TIME EITHER SO I CHEATED..WHEN I COULDN'T DO ANYMORE STITCHES ON THE CIRCULARS I JUST TOOK A TAPESTRY NEEDLE AND WEAVED IN THE REST OF THE STITCHES..I ALSO DIDN'T GET TO FELT IT EITHER SO I FELTED IT BY HAND AS WELL AS POSSIBLE..

SHE LIKED IT THOUGH..
