I loved making this bag. It was definitely a very fun knit and I will be making another one in different colors with different yarn. I love entrelac knitting!!!

The yarn on the other hand is awful awful awful stuff. I DO NOT like the Donegal Tweed for felting. It did not shrink like it was suppose to. Felting this yarn took forever. I had to wash it 8 or 9 times before it would finally hide most of the stitch definition. I was not very happy with this at all with this yarn. Also when I went to pull the yarn through the loop to finish it off, I pulled too tight and it broke, the yarn that is. Will not get it again.

Ok that is for now! Finishing up the secret project and filling it with goodies as soon as the mailman brings my package.... Shhhh dont tell Andi! ;p

Later Jelly Beans!
