If I don't get back to you right away ...

I'm either knitting or felting another bag.

From the lens Designer handbags, knit and felt..

I mean, I love writing on Squidoo, but I could be busy creating more "material."

    This is such an interesting article - I think that I could manage felting wool - I've mistakenly shrunk enough sweaters over the years! Great job!

    A wool handbag looks so uncomfortable, wool anything feels uncomfortable really. I think the felt is a much better material.

    I specially love the children winding wool, was quite sorry when wool was no longer sold like that, if nobody was around to hold the wool for me, I used to hang it round the back of a chair and walk round it, as I wound the wool. Thank you so much for sharing.
  • bikerministry Aug 17, 2011 @ 8:53 pm | delete
    ShirleySunshine - we have so much in common. Thank you for commenting here. That's my favorite too - working with wool. I tell my husband all the time that I want my own sheep and an alpaca. He just laughs.

    I have a story about knitting, featuring some Etsy knitters. One of the features is a felted knit handbag. I am adding this lens to my 'Nifty Knitted Handicrafts' as an example of what can be done with knit & felting. :) Wonderful story.
