The Incredible Shrinking Woman

Felting/fulling is magic! You take a floppy bit of knitted stuff:



Throw it in hot water wash, agitate a bit, tug and pull it into shape, stuff it with plastic bags and hang to dry. In just a little while, you have

a purse!

I've made Sophie before (last one was purple, I think), but this one is different. This one is for me me me me me!

I started knitting it yesterday, finished it this afternoon, just in time to toss it in the washer with the dirty clothes. The yarn is Brown Sheep Naturespun. The color is "stone." I made the straps just a hair longer than the pattern calls for (30" of i-cord instead of 20") in the hope that it can be shoulder worn.

It can!

Very nice! Are you wearing it diagonally, from one shoulder to the side? I have some Kuryeon that I plan to make one for myself and was wondering about the strap length.

My strap is just barely armpit length. 30" felted down to about 24"
