Here it is pre-felting.
And post-felting. This thing shrunk like the devil. It is a tad smaller than I like a bag to be, but it's not too bad and I'm using it today. It's just not quite big enough to get all my normal purse things in plus a ball of sock yarn, but that's OK. Here's a close-up of the squares:
If I had to do it all over again, I would have probably cast on a few more stitches and added another square or two in width to make it big enough to hold all my purse things and some yarn.I also made two dishcloths from the cotton that I picked up from Ann at the yarn swap a couple of weeks ago:
I have enough left to make a third one, so I'll probably work on that tonight. These are for my great-grandmother who asked for more dishcloths after I made her four for Christmas.That's the knitting for today. Remember that if you leave a comment on my blog in the month of March, you'll be entered for the handspun contest that will be drawn on April 1!
Happy St. Patrick's Day too!
Knit on...

Nice purse!
ooo... and a contest! Glorious!
How are the mitered squares going? I'm in the midst of a pi shawl in some trekking natura I got for my b-day last year... good times...
Oooo, handspun yarn! I hope I'm the winner! Now I'll probably win because I don't really need any handspun. I've got plenty! :O)
That bag is COOL. Is it an original, or is there a pattern out there on the interweb somewhere?
It's Little Slip of a Thing from Knitty!
