This is my journey, the daily life of a fiber artist. It's all about the process.
I make handspun yarn, needle felted wall pieces,hand dyed roving and handknit just for fun.

Love this purse. How darling is that? You're reminding me of how much I love felting, and haven't done it in a while. I'm rather absorbed in spinning right now. But you're tempting me.
Are you selling this pattern yet on Rav? Will you be? If so, let me know so I can buy it.
Chelle,
This purse is a one of a kind. I found some lopi yarn at a thrift store and used a knitting machine to make some fabric. I sewed it together and knit some handles, I wanted the bag strong, so I knit a welt around the bag. It was then felted, not very hard, just enough to keep the lopi from shedding like crazy. The buttons and zipper are some that were in my stash of stuff. There isn't a pattern, but you could certainly do something very nice. The hardest part was the lining. Having to think, inside out is tricky for me.
