I need a felted bag pattern

Newyorker4lyfe · 07-21-2005, 01:48 PM

I need a felted bag pattern that is quick easy and fun. The type of wool yarn that i have is: Lamb's Pride Worsted [(85%Wool/15%Mohair)190 yards] and it wouldnt be a purse without some fuzzy yarn (like a teenage pattern) the fuzzy yarn that i have is: Fun fur Prints[(100%Polyester)57 yards] and i dont have any circular needles all i have is a size 9 needle and size 17 needles (sorry for sounding so demanding but i need it before september when i go back to school)

Thanks in advance!!

I could try to buy some circulars but when i try looking for size US 11 16" circular needles i couldnt find them anywhere and when i found them on the internet it was way to much money but if you have any patterns that doesnt use those circular needles plz tell

Thanks so very much!

Here's a link to knitting-warehouse.com with a pair of clover size 11 16" circs for less than $7; I've recently found this place and now buy all of my needles here. Of course, if you don't like bamboo, they have several different types

I'm currently using Lambs Pride Worsted for another of the Not So Vintage Bubble Bags (in the book Pursenalities)...you must double this yarn for the felted bags according to the owner at the lys.

Thank you, thank you very much

I have the Knit One Felt Two book and that has a lunch bag style tote that calls for 85% wool 15% mohair. They used Brown Sheep in a limeade and hot pink color but of course the color choice is your. I actually want to try this bag, it has a loop for closing and handles for over the shoulder or I suppose you could do them short too. I thought it was cute. I got the book at B&N.
