felted bag, hats, and keyhole scarf

[outdoordrea]

Here's my latest project (still needs handles...maybe...I'm working on an I-cord).

Felted bag

Rolled brim hat
Floppy brim hat (I get lots of compliments on this one)
Key-hole scarf

Very nice!

Those are nice. I'm curious how one makes the hole in the keyhole scarf?

I'm curious how one makes the hole in the keyhole scarf?

When I got to the point at which I wanted to start the hole, I removed half the stitches (of the scarf width) and put them on a stitch holder, then continued knitting the other half until I wanted the hole to end. Then I put those stitches on a second stitch holder and worked the stitches on the first holder to match the length. Then I put all the stitches back onto a needle and continued to the end bind-off.

They all look great!

I really liked the felted bag how big was it before felting... I have never tried this before but your bag is inspiring....

Outdoordrea,

Thank you for the explanation. It sure looks great!

[ah]

They all look great!

All your FO's are very nice! The Booga bag colors will probably 'pop' in the sun.

When I finally get around to making one, I want to find a nice shiny yarn to use, or sew beads on after felting.
