A Bag is Blooming

I've been making good progress on my bag for my partner in Tote Exchange III. I'm combining two different patterns with some individual changes thrown in for good measure. One of the patterns was written by my friend Carrie but I've not going to give you a link to her blog just yet as I want to maintain some surprise for the final product. I sure hope it turns out well and that my pal likes it. So far it's coming out like I had hoped but I'm crossing my fingers that it felts well and I'm still trying to figure out what kind of handles to put on it. I'm having lots of fun!

Wow! I LOVE it! What a great idea to felt it. It should work -- I have felted other mosaic patterns and it has gone fine.

I'm thrilled you're finding a use for that pattern! Can I link to your blog?

Wow, I really like it so far and I am sure it will felt wonderfully. I am enjoying our snow, but I have to admit the flowers in your picture have me looking forward to spring.
