My last attempt at felting a bag did not go very well. So, I threw the almost felted knit bag into a different washer that had more options and it worked a bit better. I actually think if I put it on another cycle it would have been completely felted, but I had no more quarters with me and I really didn’t want to spend anymore time in my building’s basement. But I do like the way it turned out, the knitting does get to be more like a fabric, it feels a lot stronger and I like that it looks fuzzy.  Here is what it looks like…

2nd time felted

Then I finished the bag by whip stitching around the flap with the gray novelty yarn and attached a button.

finished

I’m pretty happy with the results. I’ll have to use it next time I go out!
