Well the bags are in the machine doing their thang.
I've checked on them once and they look great!
Now to get them set up nice for drying.
Pics will follow when they are finished :-)
ETA:
Well they are out of the machine!
They look great!
So I've set them up with a Tupperware container in them to block them for drying purposes and set them onto cooling racks so that they get max air circulation.
We're sooo excited for the finished bags!

Well I have cuccessfuly completed knitting and sewing up my two bags.
I just need to felt them.
I haven't felted before so I am a bit leary of doing it .
I'm sure it will be fine.
Maybe I will do it this evening before I hit the hay for the night.
Biilie has mad comment that she would like a felted bag that is the same approx size of the bags that I have done before the felting process.
I'll have to stop bye the Needle & Arts center here and ask what they reccomend for the sizing.
Man it would be absolutely huge before it was felted to have it felted at this size.
I'll see.
I will take a couple of pics of them before and after the felting is done.
Wish me luck!

Well I'm alsmost one all of the knitting for my project.
I have a friends little man all day tomorrow so I may take him on a feild trip to the Needle & Arts Center so that I acn get a quickie lesson on how to assemble and do the actual felting process. And errr um maybe pick up some new wool for another project.
I had forgotten how much I enjoyed knitting, since I had my arm injury I kinda gave up all of my needle crafts. So this is cool that I was able to pick it right back up again and so far so good with the old arm ;-)
I can't wait to see the finished project!

Well I started a knitting / felting (small bag) project on Friday and so far aI am pretty happy with how it is looking. I have both handles done and they are kinda neat, as I hadn't used that particular tecnique before. I am about half way through the actaul bag part and figure I will have it ready for the next step by Wed. I have also told a friend about my project, she only knits a little but she is quite excited to see my project and possible start her own. I'm thinking that if it turns out well I may even make a couple for gift for a couple of Billie's friends. I may even post a pic when I'm done!
