Now that we are settled back in at home, I am tying up a few loose ends from our winter south. The Lucy Bag above is one of those loose ends! My go-to knitting project for travel (below is a photo that I posted a few years ago - winter travel!). I knit the one above on our way south in January, and used odd skeins of Cascade 220. I love the color combinations, which I think are quite Floridian, even though the finished felting was done in NY.
I don't think that I've mentioned before that at our condo complex in Florida, individual ownership of washers and dryers is prohibited. There is a common laundry facility about two doors down from us, and I must say that I never really found it to be inconvenient. Anyhow - since I did not have my own washing machine to felt my bag in, and since felting can sometimes be an unpredictable process, I decided it was best to leave this until we returned home.
I have made probably close to 20 Lucy Bags over the years (that's a lot of travel!), and have given them all away. This Floridian-toned one is for me! Whether I carry it as a purse or a project-bag remains to be seen, but I do love it and am happy to call it mine!
Right now I have no need for a winter one!
What a pretty and beautifully proportioned bag. :-) You are a very talented woman. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks really great! And the felting is so well done!
