This was a super fun knit. Everyone kept calling it my giant Easter Egg... well now you know how I got the title. I love love love how Patons SWS yarn felts. It just comes out perfect, except for the little hair cut that you have to give it. But so worth it in the end!

I did do a couple of things different on this bag. One I used 1/2 size bigger needles. Two I casted on 40 stitches instead of the 34. I made the bottom also taller because the Patons shrink majorly in the height wise. Instead of doing on solid handle and cutting it in half, I did two separate handles. I also used the Wonder Knitter that I picked up at Michaels last Saturday. That was so cool. Took only a couple of hours to make up the I cords!

If you havent made a booga yet, then get to knitting one! You will have fun with the mindless knitting of it!

Later Jelly Beans!
