FO: Two Little Girl's Booga Bags!

[ArtLady1981]

Hi'yall!

Well, I finished the two little girl's Booga Bags for Fiona and Laila.
They are ages 8 and 5...and I think, after felting, the Booga Bag turns out to be a nice size for little girls.

I made the XL Booga Bag for their mother, and posted photos of it the other day.

I had purchased only 2 skeins of NORO Kureyon, with the intentions of making the mini-booga bag. But, after casting on 24 stitches...it looked soooo small even before felting. So I made the "Normal" size, casting on about 36 st...and just knit in the round til I ran out of Kureyon. I had to purchase one skein of worsted weight wool for the I-cord straps for these bags...but, I like the contrasting color for the straps. The shade of purple is in both Kureyon colorways. I ended the I-cord at 5' for the little girl bags, instead of the recommended 6'.

I heard that both of the girls favor "pink"...so their mother and I discussed that I give BOTH BAGS to BOTH OF THEM...to interchange and share from day-to-day. "You get to take it (the pink bag) to church this Sunday, and I get to carry it to church next Sunday"...or some dialog like that! Good thing: the oldest child is the most even tempered and diplomatic. The youngest daughter is a bit of a hot head!

I am thinking about adding some beads-n-bobbles embellishments to the blue bag...to make it more alluring! The pink one can stay just like it is!

The frontal visual measurements of the pink bag are 7.5" x 8".




The frontal visual measurements of the blue bag are 8" x 8".
This is SIDE B.


I added the beads'n'bobbles to add to its appeal! The girls are going to fight over the pink bag, so these beads will help the blue bag out!

Very pretty, ArtLady! Boy, the gals in your family certainly have one-of-a-kind things, don't they! They'll be the envy of their Sunday School classmates!

Nice job!

Both are lovely colors! I hope that the blue one doesn't feel unloved. :-)

Both are just gorgeous!! You can't go wrong with those colors!! Great job! Would love to see what you do to embellish the purple one though. I can't imagine it looking any better ...
