Beige Marl Felted Handbag Update


<---NOT!

Just wanted to show you all a photo of the handbag in progress. I have knitted the bottom of the bag with just the Natural Mix, then I am continuing with the Beige Marl to finish it.






I am planning on having a flap closure with added beads to give the closure some weight. I am still not quite sure how I am going to do the handles yet.

As you can see I am using my 30" Versatile AJAL from Decor Accents. I absolutely love this board.

  4. Hi Looming Looney,
    This is wrapped using the garter stitch method, where you knit and then purl each peg as you go. I usually ewrap all around and then knit off a peg and then purl that same peg, and do this all around. This gives a nice smooth finish to the felted bag. The figure 8 wrap you are speaking of is done only on a knitting board. You can find great video tutorials of knitting board and loom techniques as www.dalooms.com
    Hope this helps, Connie
