Look at that - a Booga bag ready to felt! I started this on Tuesday night, knit the base and about 7 rows of the body of the bag. Wednesday I spent working on the Phildar Hoodie. I finished the body of the bag Thursday and Friday nights apart from the icord bind off which I added this afternoon. Tonight I spent a very long time knitting a very long icord, six feet to be exact (btw it is exactly the same colour as the bag, just bad light in the photo).

Quick and easy - apart from a small problem with that icord bind off. On the left is my first attempt at joining the two ends of the icord, I was trying to convince myself that it would be ok when I took this photo. What is it about a photo that makes you see that it won’t be alright at all? I took it back to the couch, prepared to rip the whole thing off if I had to, unpicked the join and somehow it just came together the second time round, nice and neat, certainly neat enough for felting.

I love it! You know, I’ve never seen a non-striped Kureyon booga bag. It would have never occurred to me, but I really like how it looks. Can’t wait to see it felted up!

I would be really interested to know how you decided how long the I cord should be. I am very new to felting and have been making hats reasonably successfully and am now making bags to match and only today decided I cord is what I want to do for the handles this time. Have a look at my site if you like http://dawnscraft.blogspot.com thankyou
